A Phenotypic Paradigm for Cerebral Palsy Genetics.
Article in medRxiv : the preprint server for health sciences, 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
Disease-causing genetic variants can be found in a subset of individuals with cerebral palsy (CP), with variants deemed causal of CP having been published for at least 515 genes. We develop a statistical approach that treats CP as a phenotypic feature for which some genetic disorders confer an increased risk. Based on comprehensive literature curation we show that the null hypothesis of no CP association can be rejected for only 89 of the 515 genes. We applied these findings to the analysis of a cohort of 460 children diagnosed with CP in the Shriner Children's network. We identified pathogenic or likely pathogenic (P/LP) variants in 60 genes in 15.8% of the children. Only 16 of the 60 genes had significant evidence for CP association in our literature analysis. Our results suggest that a stratified approach to attributing causality to genetic variants in CP could support precision genomic medicine for affected individuals.
