Effectiveness of Cognitive Orientation to daily Occupational Performance for autistic children with developmental coordination disorder.
Article in Developmental medicine and child neurology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
aimTo determine if the Cognitive Orientation to daily Occupational Performance (CO-OP) intervention is effective in improving motor skills of autistic children with developmental coordination disorder (DCD), and whether motor gains are maintained 3 months after therapy.
methodIn this quasi-experimental study, we recruited 27 autistic children (8-12 years) with DCD without intellectual disability. The treatment group received CO-OP intervention once weekly for 10 weeks, focusing on three child-chosen motor goals. The waitlist group received CO-OP 3 months later. Outcome measures included the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (child ratings of motor performance and satisfaction), Performance Quality Rating Scale (therapist-observed movement quality), and the Bruninks-Oseretsky Test of Motor Proficiency, Second Edition (motor ability).
resultsNon-parametric analyses showed significant improvements (p < 0.013) in all outcomes. Follow-up analysis revealed significant improvements in performance (p < 0.001, W = 0.69), satisfaction (p < 0.001, W = 0.72), and movement quality (p < 0.001, W = 0.62). Despite slight declines at follow-up, overall improvements from pretest remained evident.
interpretationThe CO-OP intervention effectively improved motor skills of autistic children.
