1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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: The aim of the present study was to investigate whether children with sensory integration dysfunction (SID) exhibit delays in gross motor performance and physical fitness compared to those with typical sensory integration development (TSID). Further, the developmental characteristics related to gross motor performance and physical fitness were examined in children with SID, taking into account differences in the severity of dysfunction (mild versus severe) and gender. Methods: A total of 273 children were randomly recruited, including 115 children with SID, comprising 85 with mild SID (MSID) and 30 with severe SID (SSID). All participants underwent assessments of gross motor skills and physical fitness using the "TGMD-2″ and the "NPFMM" protocols. The covariance method was employed to analyze differences in gross motor skills and physical fitness among children with SSID, MSID, and TSID, as well as gender-based differences between children with SID and those with TSID. Results: (1) Children with SID demonstrated significantly lower gross motor performance compared to their TSID peers ( Conclusions: The overall development of gross motor skills and physical fitness in children with SID was observed to be comparatively delayed relative to children with TSID. Gender-specific developmental differences were identified among children with SID. Specifically, boys with SID exhibited pronounced delays in locomotor skills and agility, whereas girls with SID primarily demonstrated deficiencies in object control skills and speed. Furthermore, although children with SSID showed poorer performance in gross motor skills and physical fitness compared to those with MSID, the differences across varying degrees of dysfunction were not statistically significant overall.
