Rethinking diagnosis-based service models for childhood neurodevelopmental disabilities in Canada: a question of equity.
Article in Paediatrics & child health, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Neurodevelopmental disability in children covers a vast array of congenital and acquired long-term conditions associated with brain or neuromuscular impairments that impact function. While some presentations of neurodevelopmental disability align with diagnostic labels, many do not, leaving children whose conditions don't fit neatly under diagnostic labels struggling to access services or families and professionals feeling pressured to assign a diagnostic label in order to access services. In this paper, we (1) discuss the evidence showing that there is often a mismatch between a child's neurodevelopmental diagnosis, or lack of diagnosis, and function, (2) comment on the inequities exacerbated by diagnosis-based approaches for services, and (3) highlight the potential benefits of using a function and participation-based approach for providing services to children with neurodevelopmental disabilities. We close with three calls to action for function and participation-based approaches that could better support equitable services for children with neurodevelopmental disabilities.
