A Systematic Review of Tactile Functioning in Blind Children From a Clinical Perspective.
Review 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
In the literature, there is a lot of variation in how well visually impaired youngsters can distinguish between tactile images. This systematic review investigated tactile functioning approaches' clinical perspective on blind children. PubMed, SCOPUS, Web of Science, Science Direct, and Cochrane Library were systematically searched to include the relevant literature. Rayyan QCRI was used throughout this systematic approach. The study included nine studies with a total of 394 children, 246 (62.4%) were males, and 148 (37.6%) were females. Textured graphical objects, images, drawings, and illustrations were used as stimuli to test tactile functioning in blind children. The findings of this comprehensive review showed that tactile stimuli for blind children were most effective in the form of textured images, words, and objects. It has been shown that the complexity, familiarity, and category information all influence how easy or challenging picture recognition is. Blind people can effectively use pictorial displays, but when foreshortening is used in complex representations of three-dimensional objects, they may benefit from instruction.
