The influence of visual supports and motivation on motor performance of the MABC-2 for Chinese school-aged children with autism spectrum disorder.

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
The influences of including visual supports and strategies to increase motivation for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in motor assessments were examined. 97 children with ASD and 117 age-matched typically developing (TD) children performed the Movement Assessment Battery for Children, Second Edition (MABC-2) under traditional, visual support, motivation, and visual support plus motivation protocols. Results showed that children with ASD elicited lower MABC-2 scores than TD children. Moreover, in children with ASD, the visual support protocol, but not the motivation protocol, produced higher scores on ball and balance skills than the traditional protocol. These findings indicated that children with ASD were developmentally delayed in motor skills; however, their performance may be improved by including visual supports in motor assessments.
