Parents' Assessment of Disability in Their Children With Down Syndrome.
Article in Child neurology open. 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
aimTo describe a population of children with Down syndrome and evaluate their parents' assessment of disability.
methodsMedical records of a population of 80 children with Down syndrome aged 5 to 17 years were analyzed for genetic background and associated diagnoses. And 27 parents to their children agreed to assess disability by employing a set of 26 International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health body function (b) codes and activity and participation (d) codes. Clinical data were gathered and analysis of parents' assessment of disability using psychometric and Rasch analysis was performed.
resultsClinical data on 27 children assessed by their parents and 53 children not assessed had identical associated diagnoses. The 26 International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health codes and qualifiers had a mean score of 2.67 (range 1.26-4.11) and corrected code-total correlations mean of 0.55 (range -1.17 to 0.82). Rasch analysis showed proper code MNSQ infit and outfit values with mean 1.03 and 1.06.
conclusionClinical data on 27 children assessed were similar to 53 children that were not evaluated. Parents' assessment of the 27 children showed good psychometric and Rasch analysis properties. Similar results might be expected in the total population of 80 children.
