Visual-Motor Functions and Associated Cognitive Outcomes in Pediatric Cancer Survivors.
Article in Medical sciences (Basel, Switzerland), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
introductionPediatric cancer survivors are at high risk for visual-motor and cognitive deficits that persist throughout life. These domains are related to academic performance. The current study examined (i) whether both visuomotor and cognitive functions and (ii) whether visuomotor functions alone mediate the relationship between age and cognitive functions.
methodsIn total, there were 210 participants (7-17 years): 70 posterior fossa tumors (M
resultsImpaired motor function is significantly more pronounced than cognitive impairment in both groups of cancer survivors (effect size from 25 to 30% for visual-motor and from 5 to 7% for cognitive functions). A multiple regression model revealed that age and visual motor functions are significant predictors of attention (in the ALL group β = -0.490, t = -4.88,
conclusionsIn children who have experienced acute lymphoblastic leukemia and tumors of the posterior cranial fossa, visual-motor dysfunction is more pronounced than cognitive impairment. In addition, there is an association between visual-motor function disorders and working memory. These findings can be used to develop more specific rehabilitation protocols.
