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
ImportanceThe cause of idiopathic toe walking (ITW) remains unclear, though impaired sensory processing has often been hypothesized to be linked to ITW.ObjectivesThe objective of this article is to review the literature on toe-walking to identify how sensory processing contributes to ITW.Data SourcesFour databases (CINAHL, Pubmed, PsychINFO, and SCOPUS) were searched for papers related to sensory processing and ITW published prior to July 2024. References of retrieved papers were reviewed for additional sources.Study Selection and Data CollectionThe PRISMA guidelines for scoping review were used to abstract the data following Joanna Briggs Institute methodology. Inclusion criteria were examined and papers included at least one sensory system related to ITW was studied. Papers were excluded if toe walking was due to diagnosed neurological, orthopedic, or genetic conditions.FindingsOur scoping review identified 13 published articles relevant to examining sensory processing in children with ITW. Studies explored differences in vibration perception, light touch, proprioception, vestibular, visual processing, sensorimotor functional assessments, and parental surveys of sensory processing. Six of the papers were included in a meta-analysis on vibration perception threshold that failed to reach significance (
