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

purposeTo examine age-related differences in walking performance and its physiological determinants in adults with bilateral spastic cerebral palsy (CP) compared with typically developed (TD) peers.

methodsThirty adults aged 18-50 years were included: younger (18-25 years; CP

resultsVO₂peak did not differ between groups. However, CP

conclusionOlder adults with CP exhibit pronounced impairments in walking performance despite preserved aerobic capacity. These alterations are associated with increased walking cost, reduced strength, and impaired balance, suggesting accelerated mobility decline in adults with CP. Targeting neuromuscular function and walking economy may therefore represent key strategies to mitigate functional decline in adults with CP.
