Parents' perception of their children's neurodevelopment during the COVID-19 pandemic and associated factors.

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
objectiveTo verify parents'/caregivers' perceptions of changes in their children's development during the COVID-19 pandemic and factors associated with such perceptions.
methodsCross-sectional study using an online survey made available to parents/caregivers of children between 0-7 years old, from September 2021 to March 2023 in two Brazilian states. Respondents answered questions about their perceptions regarding their children's neurodevelopment, and worsening of neurodevelopment during the COVID-19 pandemic. Validated questionnaires such as M-CHAT, "Swanson, Nolan and Pellham," and "Strengths and Difficulties "were applied according to age. Comparisons were made using the chi-square test or Fisher's exact test, and Poisson regression was used in the univariate analysis and in the multivariate analysis.
resultsData from 589 children were obtained, 49.7% aged 0-3 years and 50.3% 4-7 years. Of the 0-3 age group, 50 (17.1%) were perceived as having abnormal neurodevelopment, and 79 (27.0%) as having worsened neurodevelopment during the pandemic. Of the 4-7 year group, 76 (25.7%) were perceived as having abnormal neurodevelopment, and 104 (35.1%) as having worsened their neurodevelopment. Significant risk factors associated with the perception of abnormal neurodevelopment were maternal schooling, the child's sex and age; for the perception of worsening neurodevelopment were the child's sex and age, low socioeconomic status, degree of social isolation, and death in the family due to COVID-19.
conclusionData from the present study showed that parents/ caregivers' perception of normal neurodevelopment was significantly higher than their recognition of abnormalities. In addition, a significant percentage perceived a worsening during the COVID-19 pandemic.
