Physical Strain During Walking in Adults With Cerebral Palsy: A Construct Validity Study.
Article in Archives of rehabilitation research and clinical translation, 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
Objective: To describe the physical strain of walking in adults with spastic cerebral palsy (CP) and investigate the construct (known-groups, convergent, and discriminant) validity of physical strain. Design: Cross-sectional design. Setting: Rehabilitation hospital. Participants: A total of 94 ambulant adults (N=94) (41 men) with spastic CP. Interventions: Not applicable. Main Outcome Measures: Peak oxygen uptake (VO Results: The overall physical strain was median (interquartile range) 50% (18), mean (SD) VO Conclusions: Physical strain of walking in adults with spastic CP increased with decreasing gross motor function, and was significantly different between known-groups of adults with spastic CP. This study confirmed the hypotheses of a strong inverse association between physical strain and walking capacity. The weak-to-moderate association with functional mobility and the lack of association with QoL support divergent validity. Our results support the use of physical strain for adults with CP, inversely reflecting functional walking capacity, in clinical practice and research.
