Motor variability predicts motor learning of improved trunk postural control through repeated trunk perturbations during walking 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
A greater range of motion in trunk movement in the frontal plane is commonly observed in children with cerebral palsy (CP), occurring at a rate of 72% in this population, which may compromise their walking ability. In this study, we examined the effect of providing lateral perturbation force at the trunk during walking on improving trunk control in children with CP. Fourteen children with CP participated in two conditions: PERTURB and CONTROL. For the PERTURB condition, participants walked on a treadmill without force for 1 min (baseline), with a bilateral controlled perturbation force applied to pull the trunk toward the ipsilateral stance leg for 7 min (adaptation), and without force for 2 min (postadaptation), and with perturbation force for another 5 min (re-adaptation). Overground walking was tested before, immediately after, and 10 min after treadmill walking. For the CONTROL condition, no force was applied during treadmill walking. Kinematics and electromyography (EMG) were recorded during walking. Participants showed decreased trunk obliquity toward the stronger side immediately after the removal of the perturbation during the postadaptation period for PERTURB condition (
