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
Objective: To examine child, caregiver, and physical therapy (PT) service-related factors associated with regular versus irregular attendance to PT services among children with cerebral palsy (CP). Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted with 108 caregivers of children with CP aged 2-12 years in Saudi Arabia. Caregivers completed an online survey about child and caregiver characteristics, PT characteristics, perceived difficulties related to PT services, and caregiver-reported burden. Attendance was categorized as regular or irregular based on caregiver report and differences were examined. Regular attendance reflected consistent participation in scheduled sessions, whereas irregular attendance reflected missed, delayed, or inconsistent attendance. Results: Regular attendance was reported by 42.6% of participants. Regular attendance was associated with younger age of children ( Conclusion: Attendance to PT services for children with CP was associated more with caregiver-perceived difficulties and burden than with demographic or service characteristics. Addressing service processes and caregiver experiences may support more consistent PT attendance.
