Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Early Intervention Services Use Among Children with Developmental Disabilities.
Article in Journal of pediatrics advance research, 2024. 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
Early Intervention (EI) is a federally-funded program that provides therapies for children with developmental delays. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and lockdown restrictions in Philadelphia in 2020, these services made a rapid change to virtual service delivery. We sought to explore the experiences of families in accessing online therapy. We recruited families to participate in a mixed methods study in order to evaluate changes in the initiation and use of EI services pre- and post-pandemic lockdown. Of the 94 who completed surveys, 27 families were purposively sampled for semi-structured telephonic interviews to identify their perceptions of program assistance and needs. Themes developed from these interviews included participant satisfaction with the communication of program changes and concerns related to the effectiveness of virtual EI services. This information can be used in plans for transitioning to hybrid therapy as well as for future pandemics requiring a return to fully virtual services.
