1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

BACKGROUND/

objectiveMobility Opportunities Via Education (MOVE) is a structured intervention to enhance independent mobility skills in individuals who are non-ambulatory. This study aims at identifying and mapping the literature related to the MOVE programme and to describe its content according to preselected categories, focusing on individuals with non-ambulatory cerebral palsy.

methodsA scoping review was conducted, with thirteen databases searched in May 2024, complemented by reference search and private databases; the search was updated in August 2025. Publications after 1985 were included without restrictions on language, population, or context. Two reviewers independently screened records and extracted data using qualitative content analysis.

resultsFrom 6794 records, 228 publications in 15 languages were included, mainly from the United States and Europe. MOVE was developed in the 1980s during a shift towards age-appropriate, functional interventions for individuals with severe disabilities. It is an early task-specific, activity-based and family-centred approach with retrospectively proposed foundations in dynamic systems theory and motor learning. Implementation follows a structured six-step process, embedding mobility training into daily routines. MOVE has been implemented across populations, settings, and countries, particularly for non-ambulatory individuals with cerebral palsy.
