Changes in gross motor function in children with cerebral palsy following repeated intensive rehabilitation periods: a longitudinal study.

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
Purpose: To evaluate changes in gross motor function in children with cerebral palsy (CP), following multiple intensive rehabilitation periods. Materials and methods: In this retrospective longitudinal study, we assessed 46 children with CP, aged 2-12 years, Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) levels I-V. Participants underwent 2-12 intensive rehabilitation periods, incorporating goal-directed group activities. Long-term change in gross motor function was analyzed using a linear mixed model based on reference percentiles for the Gross Motor Function Measure-66 (GMFM-66). Comparisons were made between GMFCS levels and age groups. Results: GMFM-66 scores increased during each intensive rehabilitation period, with significant improvements in period 1-4. The number of participants decreased as the number of periods increased. GMFM-66 percentiles increased by 10.9 ( Conclusions: Intensive rehabilitation may be associated with improved gross motor function in children with CP, irrespective of GMFCS levels. Repeated periods appear especially beneficial in early childhood, supporting their strategic use in long-term rehabilitation.
