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 considerable increase in screen exposure causes negative effects on the motor development of boys and girls, which results in a decrease in the level of physical activity and an increase in sedentary behaviors. In Chile, this problem has been widely addressed in adolescence; however, it is necessary to address it in childhood and early adolescence with a preventive approach.
objectivesTo know the relationship between the use of screens and motor development in children.
methodsThe sample was composed of 206 boys and girls (girls = 126 and boys = 80). The ages of the students ranged from 8 to 10 years old with a mean in months of 89.6 ± 7.54. The Gross Motor Development-2 was applied to identify motor development, screen time was measured using the Questionnaire to measure physical activity and sedentary behavior.
resultsGirls have a greater weekly time than females in the use of consoles (
conclusionsScreen exposure has a negative effect on the motor development of boys and girls. Although there is compliance with World Health Organization recommendations for screen exposure, the motor development of the participants is mostly very poor, poor, and low average.
