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
aimTo understand how families and therapists perceived their participation in an individualized home telehealth programme implemented for children and adolescents with cerebral palsy (CP) during the COVID-19 pandemic in Brazil.
methodThis was a descriptive qualitative study that included 13 families of children and adolescents with CP (classified in Gross Motor Function Classification System levels IV and V) and 20 therapists, who participated in an individualized home telehealth programme. Semi-structured, online interviews were carried out with participants after completing the intervention to understand their expectations, challenges, and benefits, and to gather suggestions for future services. The interviews were transcribed for thematic analysis.
resultsThe three themes were (1) fear of the unknown, (2) new pathways, and (3) benefits and future perspectives. Participants recognized that active family engagement during the intervention, the establishment of individualized goals, and communication between parents and therapists led to changes in children's involvement, family routines, and parental empowerment regarding their children's rehabilitation process.
interpretationThe establishment of a partnership between therapists and families, by combining technical knowledge and living experience, contributed to the successful implementation of the intervention. Future actions may involve the adoption of hybrid intervention models focused on the specific needs of families of children and adolescents with CP.
