Relationship between participation across daily environments and bimanual performance in children with unilateral cerebral palsy: an ICF-based cross-sectional study.
Observational study in BMC pediatrics, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06073522 (Clinical Validation of Artificial INtelligence for Providing a Personalized Motor Clinical Profile Assessment and Rehabilitation of Upper Limb in Children With Unilateral Cerebral Palsy), which is not on this 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.

Abstract
backgroundBimanual performance is a primary rehabilitation target in unilateral cerebral palsy children, yet its relationship with real-world participation remains unclear. This study aims to examine the relationship between bimanual performance and Participation outcomes across home, school, and community environments in children with unilateral cerebral palsy within the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health Children & Youth Version framework.
methodsCross-sectional observational study of 70 children with unilateral cerebral palsy (mean age 9.5 years, Manual Ability Classification System I–III). Bimanual performance was assessed using the Assisting Hand Assessment and the Children’s Hand-use Experience Questionnaire; Participation was measured using the Participation and Environment Measure for Children and Youth. Correlation analyses examined associations between bimanual performance and Participation outcomes, adjusting for demographic characteristics, with a significance α < 0.05.
resultsDespite significant differences in bimanual performance across Manua Ability Classification System levels (p < 0.001), neither Assisting Hand Assessment nor Children’s Hand-use Experience Questionnaire scores correlated significantly with Participation frequency, involvement, or environmental facilitators/barriers across any setting (all p > 0.05). Demographic factors did not confound these associations. Environmental barriers increased progressively from home (24.5%) through school (30.5%) to community (34.1%), while Participation remained high in familiar contexts despite motor limitations.
conclusionsAlthough bimanual performance is a prominent impairment in unilateral cerebral palsy due to the lateralized motor impairments, it does not appear to be directly related to Participation. Instead, daily-life Participation is probably related with factors beyond motor function, underscoring the need for more holistic, biopsychosocial approaches.
