Early Intervention Service Intensity and Change in Children's Functional Capabilities.
Article in Archives of physical medicine and rehabilitation, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers.
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
objectiveTo estimate correlates of early intervention (EI) service dosage and gains in children's functional capabilities from EI entry and discharge.
designRetrospective cohort study.
settingSecondary analyses of a subset of data (N=1005) collected from an EI administrative database on children discharged from a large, urban EI program between October 1, 2014 and September 30, 2016.
participantsChildren who were EI eligible due to developmental delay, had received an EI care plan and at least 1 billable EI service, and had outcomes data at EI entry and exit (N=1005). Measured child characteristics included age (49.0% 12-24mo; n=492), sex (36.0% female; n=362), number of developmental delays (76.1% had 1 developmental delay; n=765), and number of EI services received (78.5% received multiple; n=789).
interventionNot applicable.
main outcome measuresOutcomes were EI service intensity (hours per month) and change in functional capabilities as measured via the state-mandated Child Outcomes Summary (COS). Adjusted quantile median regression estimated EI intensity. Adjusted linear regression estimated change in function for social-emotional, cognitive, and adaptive domains of the COS. Measures of children's developmental delay severity, age at EI entry, race and ethnicity, sex, and language.
resultsChildren older than 24 months old experienced significantly higher EI service intensity (b=0.40; 95% confidence interval, 0.18-0.63). Child age and EI service intensity were significantly linked to gains in social and cognitive COS score changes from EI entry to exit.
conclusionsOlder children receive a higher intensity of EI services. EI service intensity and age were linked with positive changes in functional gains.
