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
[Purpose] This study was a pilot investigation. The purpose is to examine short-term longitudinal changes in limb skeletal muscle mass and water content in participants with severe cerebral palsy and examine the safety of an exercise intervention in participants, as a single-group pre-post observational study. [Participants and Methods] The participants were 11 individuals. The survey period was set to 6 months. Body composition was assessed using the skeletal muscle mass index and extracellular water/total body water ratio. The first 3 months served as a non-intervention period, followed by a 3-month intervention period involving passive stretching and postural changes. [Results] extracellular water/total body water levels in the trunk and the right lower limb significantly increased at 3 and 6 months compared with the values at the start (p<0.05) (ηp
