ICF-based functioning profiles in children and adolescents with cerebral palsy: Evidence from a population-based study in Argentina.

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
purposeIn Argentina, there is no consensus on the functional assessment of children with cerebral palsy (CP). The International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) Core Sets for children with CP are tools that standardize clinical functional assessments. The aim was to build functioning profiles of children with CP aged 2 to 18 years in eight Argentine cities, to identify their functional needs and contribute to improving assessment processes.
methodsCross-sectional study, developed in stages. This article describes the last stage, the creation of the functional profile of a sample surveyed in eight cities. Twenty-five categories established in the common abbreviated core set of CP were evaluated through the application of a protocol called PC-CIFuncional (previously created). This protocol consists of scales or culturally sensitive instruments, assessed through clinical evaluations and questionnaires for children and families.
resultsOne hundred thirty-three functioning profiles were built using the previously developed PC-CIFuncional protocol. Of the participants, 52.7% had severe motor compromise with Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) levels IV and V. In children at GMFCS level IV-V, most categories in activities and participation-including recreation, communication and physical activity-showed severe limitations and restrictions, compared with their peers. The use of technology for daily living and mobility in children with less motor compromise (GMFCS level I-III) was neither a facilitator nor a barrier, but in children with greater compromise it was a complete facilitator.
conclusionsDifferences in functional needs were identified in children with CP according to motor involvement. This project standardizes the identification of functional needs and therapeutic goals based on ICF language, creating novel functioning profiles in Argentina.
