Effects of adapted physical activity on the motor development of children with mild intellectual disability.
Article in International journal of developmental disabilities, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled it.
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
Objectives: This study examined the effects of twenty-four weeks of long-term adapted physical activities (APA) on the motor development of children with intellectual disability (ID). Methods: Twenty-one children with mild ID were included in this study. The Bruininks-Oseretsky Motor Proficiency Test-Second Edition (BOT-2) long form was used to measure motor proficiency. Pre-test data were obtained at the beginning of the study. The children in the experimental group participated in the APA for twenty-four weeks. Children in the control group were excluded. After twenty-four weeks, post-test measurements were performed for both groups. another twenty-four weeks passed without APA, and a retention test was conducted in the experimental group. All data were analyzed. Results: The results showed APA increased motor proficiency in the experimental group. However, the retention test scores showed a decrease in the motor proficiency of the experimental group if APA was not maintained. Conclusions: Regular APA improved motor development in children with mild ID, but the skills regressed when activities were discontinued.
