Biopsychosocial factors and participation in adults with developmental coordination disorder: A structural equation modelling analysis.
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 3 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 examine the effect of developmental coordination disorder (DCD) on biological (executive function deficit) and psychosocial (low self-esteem and social support) challenges, and the possible mediating effect of these biopsychosocial factors on the relationship between DCD and daily participation, including assistance in performance, performance level, pleasure in daily activities, and global occupational experience.
methodFifty-five young adults with DCD (28 females; mean age [SD] = 27 years 7 months [3 years 7 months]) and 66 peers without DCD (34 females; mean age [SD] = 27 years 3 months [3 years 8 months]) were included in this structural equation modelling analysis study. Direct and indirect effects were tested using structural equation modelling.
resultsDCD had a significantly negative direct effect on all biopsychosocial factors, the need of assistance in performance, and performance level. Self-esteem and social support mediated the effect of DCD on all participation dimensions, while executive function only mediated the effect on performance level and global occupational experience.
interpretationResults suggest that participation adversities are not only the result of the motor deficits of individuals with DCD, but are also affected by their poor self-esteem, social support, and executive function. Hence, tailored interventions for this population, targeting daily participation, should consider the range of biopsychosocial risk factors affecting these individuals.
