Effects of different exercise modalities on pediatric and adolescent populations with developmental disorders: a network meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials.
Article in European journal of pediatrics, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
To investigate the impact of different types of exercise modalities on children and adolescents with developmental disorders. Data were obtained from randomized controlled trials retrieved from five databases. Following the PRISMA NMA guidelines, a Bayesian framework-based Markov chain Monte Carlo simulation was used for aggregation and analysis. The included studies were assessed for risk of bias and quality evaluation. A total of 68 studies were included. Moderate-quality evidence suggests that combative sports may be the best exercise for enhancing gross motor skills, ball sports are the most effective for improving executive function, neurodevelopmental motor training is the most effective for improving social skills, and aquatic exercise is the most effective for improving behavioral problems.
conclusionsCombat sports, ball sports, neurodevelopmental motor training, and aquatic exercise may be effective exercise modalities for improving symptoms in children and adolescents with developmental disorders. However, the degree of improvement can vary among individuals with specific developmental disorders. Therefore, precise assessment of the individual symptoms of children or adolescents is crucial before selecting specific exercise interventions.
trial registrationPROSPERO (CRD42024545673). WHAT IS KNOWN: • Many studies indicate that exercise as an intervention can have positive effects on individuals with developmental disorders, such as ADHD and autism. However, reported effects vary, and there is no clear consensus on the optimal exercise intervention method yet. WHAT IS NEW: • Through a comprehensive network meta-analysis, various exercise interventions for children and adolescents with developmental disorders were compared to determine the optimal approach. The study found that combat sports, ball sports, neurodevelopmental motor training, and aquatic exercise could potentially be effective modalities for improving symptoms in this population.
