Self-perceived fatigue in relation to activity and participation in adolescents and adults with cerebral palsy living in urban South Africa.
Review in Journal of pediatric rehabilitation medicine, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
PurposeUnderstanding the level of fatigue experienced by adolescents and adults with cerebral palsy (CP) in low- and middle-income countries is crucial, as it can inform healthcare workers in the assessment, prevention, and management of fatigue for these individuals, similar to the approach taken in high-income countries. This study aimed to determine self-perceived fatigue and the level of accomplishments and satisfaction of activities and participation in daily life in adolescents and adults with CP compared with typically developing (TD) peers living in urban South Africa. The study also examined whether the outcome measures were associated within the CP cohort.MethodsThis case-control study included 31 adolescents and 30 adults with CP and TD peers matched for age, sex, and socio-economic status. Participants completed the Fatigue Severity Scale and Life-Habits Questionnaire.ResultsSelf-perceived fatigue was reported in 14/31 adolescents with CP, 6/31 TD adolescents, 9/30 adults with CP, and 8/30 TD peers. No differences in fatigue were observed between adults or adolescents with CP and TD peers. However, accomplishment and satisfaction scores were lower for adolescents (p < 0.001 and p = 0.016, respectively) and adults with CP (both p < 0.001) compared to TD peers.ConclusionsIndividuals with CP living in urban South Africa reported similar levels of fatigue as TD peers. Despite limitations in accomplishing life habits, adolescents and adults with CP reported to be independent in their daily activities and satisfied with their community participation, which was unrelated to fatigue.
