Development of a set of core outcome measures for ambulant children with cerebral palsy after lower limb orthopaedic surgery.
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 develop consensus on a core set of standardized outcome measures to be applied to each domain of the previously developed core outcome set for lower limb orthopaedic surgery for ambulant children with cerebral palsy (CP).
methodThis work consisted of the following three steps: (1) a scoping review of the literature to identify previously used outcome measures to assess lower limb orthopaedic surgery of ambulant children with CP; (2) searching the COnsensus-based Standards for the selection of health Measurement Instruments (COSMIN) and PubMed databases to assess the quality of the psychometric properties of outcome measures and feasibility criteria; and (3) a consensus meeting with seven healthcare professionals with expertise in CP research and in the assessment of outcome measure psychometric properties was held in September 2021. Consensus on the outcome measures core set was developed through presentation of the evidence and whole-group discussions.
resultsA combination of clinician-driven and patient-reported outcome measures was considered the most appropriate way to assess the outcome of orthopaedic surgical interventions. Agreement was reached on seven core outcome measures: three-dimensional gait analysis, Edinburgh Visual Gait Scale, Gross Motor Function Measure, Gait Outcome Assessment List, Gillette Functional Assessment Questionnaire, Patient-Reported Outcome Measure Instrument System (pain interference, and fatigue), and Cerebral Palsy Quality of Life for Children questionnaire.
interpretationThis study recommends a set of core outcome measures for use in research on lower limb orthopaedic surgery for ambulant children with CP. Consistent use of this core set would enhance validity and comparability of future research.
