Participation, environment, and quality of life in children with cerebral palsy and physical disabilities.
Article in Developmental medicine and child neurology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
aimTo compare and examine relationships between participation, environmental factors, and quality of life (QoL) in children with cerebral palsy and physical disability (CP/PD) and typically developing children.
methodParticipants were 59 children (6-12 years; 31 females): 30 with CP/PD (mean age 8 years 7 months, standard deviation 1 year 6 months) and 29 with typical development (mean age 8 years 2 months, standard deviation 1 year 6 months). Parents completed the Participation and Environment Measure for Children and Youth to assess participation, the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory to assess QoL, and a socio-demographic questionnaire. Gross motor function and additional functional classifications were recorded for the CP/PD group.
resultsInvolvement in activities, frequency of participation, and QoL were significantly lower in the CP/PD group than in the typically developing group. The gross motor function levels of the CP/PD group positively correlated with their participation in home activities levels. Community-setting support significantly predicted QoL and mediated (β = 0.66, p < 0.001) between disability level and QoL.
interpretationCommunity-setting support is crucial for enhancing QoL for children with CP/PD. Rehabilitation should emphasize community engagement to improve the children's participation and well-being.
