Increasing motor variability facilitates motor learning of trunk postural control during sitting 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
The goal of this study was to determine whether increasing motor variability by applying varied perturbation forces to the pelvis during sitting astride would facilitate motor learning of improved trunk postural control in children with cerebral palsy (CP). Fourteen children with spastic CP participated and were tested in two conditions: CONSTANT and VARIED force perturbations. Each condition consisted of a 15-minute session. A custom robotic system delivered repetitive perturbation forces to the pelvis while participants sat astride. To assess changes in postural control, unpredicted perturbations in the anterior and posterior directions were applied before and after each repetitive perturbation session. The kinematics of head, trunk, and pelvis movement and muscle electromyography were recorded. The results showed that one session of pelvis perturbations with either the CONSTANT (
