Feasibility of a Markerless Motion Capture System for Balance Function Assessment in Children with Cerebral Palsy.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Children with cerebral palsy (CP) have impaired standing balance ability, caused by increased muscle tone, muscle weakness, and joint deformity. It is necessary to investigate standing balance for children with CP. Compared with postural stability assessment using force plates, OpenCap has the potential to be used utilized as a cost-effective standing balance assessment tool, providing details about the center of mass (CoM) and joint angles. This study aims to evaluate the feasibility of using OpenCap for standing balance assessment in children with CP by (i) examining the validity of OpenCap-based CoM parameters against force plate center of pressure (CoP) measures and (ii) exploring associations between joint angles and CoM displacement. Twenty-two children with CP completed standing balance trials on a force plate-based balance tester while two smartphones recorded synchronized videos for OpenCap processing. For the correlation between CoM parameters and CoP parameters, Pearson's R values were from 0.39 to 0.94 between the two systems. After correcting the CoM parameters, the R
