The Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Physical, Social and Emotional Well-Being in a Cohort of Children With Disabilities in the United States.
Article in Journal of paediatrics and child health, 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
backgroundThe COVID-19 pandemic has affected the daily lives of all individuals. Research is limited in how children with disabilities (CWD) in the United States (U.S.) have been affected by the pandemic socially or emotionally, or if they are obtaining the recommended 60 min of daily physical activity.
objectiveEvaluate (a) the social, behavioural and psychological changes of CWD during the pandemic, (b) whether CWD are reaching the recommended 60 min of daily physical activity and (c) how the social vulnerability index (SVI) impacts these variables.
methodsThis study was a cross-sectional survey study of parents of CWD at two rehabilitation hospitals.
resultsA total of 118 surveys were completed. Child's mean age was 9.5 ± 5.1 years; 49 (41.5%) were female; 67 (56.9%) were male. Seventy-one (60.2%) respondents agreed the pandemic has negatively affected their child's well-being, and 83 (70.3%) cited their child is more socially isolated. All respondents cited behavioural changes in their child. Eighty-seven (73.7%) children are leaving the house less, with 31 (26.3%) children completing 60 min of daily physical activity. The main barrier was concern for COVID transmission (n = 76, 64.4%). There were no differences between SVI risk groups for access to therapy at school (p = 0.56), therapy outside of school (p = 0.44), medical follow-up (p = 0.91), access to psychological services (p = 0.21), amount of physical activity (p = 0.41), well-being (p = 0.89), or social isolation (p = 0.85).
conclusionsThe COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted the social, emotional, and physical well-being of CWD, with the majority not reaching daily physical activity recommendations.
