Intellectual Characteristics in Children With Congenital Unilateral Upper Limb Deficiencies.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Introduction Some children with motor disabilities show low cognitive levels. However, the influence of motor disabilities on children's intelligence remains to be fully elucidated. This study aimed to clarify the intellectual characteristics of children with upper limb deficiencies and the influence of upper limb impairments on intelligence. Methods The participants were 10 children from four to six years of age with congenital unilateral transradial or transcarpal limb deficiencies who received prosthetic interventions. The children's intelligence and adaptive behaviors, including motor skills, were examined using the Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence and the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scale, respectively. Results There were no significant characteristics or discrepancies in cognitive level in children with upper limb deficiencies. The Adaptive Behavior Composite Score of the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scale was significantly positively correlated with the Full-Scale Intelligence Quotient of the Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence. Conclusions The children with congenital limb deficiencies showed average cognitive levels. Expansion of adaptive behaviors, including appropriate complementation of disabilities, may promote intellectual development in children with motor disabilities.
