Barriers and facilitators in physical activity among youth with cerebral palsy in Sweden: A qualitative study.
Article in PloS one, 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
Limitations to full social participation in physical activity-both during leisure time and in physical education-persist among young individuals with cerebral palsy. This study explores the experiences of physical education and physical leisure activities among youth with cerebral palsy living in Sweden. It examines how these youths navigate contextual barriers and facilitators to participation, focusing on norms of function and gender. Individual interviews with 13 youth, aged 15-18 years, were analysed using Qualitative Content Analysis resulting in a main theme: Being in a continuum between exclusion and empowerment, with three categories: 1) Excluded and denied of support; 2) Resisting prejudice and discrimination; and 3) Empowered, with appropriate support. Most participants had experienced not being given equal opportunity in particularly in physical education but also in leisure activities and had encountered limiting norms and preconceptions based on gender and function. The findings indicate that norm-consciousness, respect and involvement in decision-making are key for participation and empowerment.
