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

Social play has a key role in the development of social skills in child development, especially in early and middle childhood through peer interaction. Siblings serve very often as children's first peers, shaping each other's overall development throughout life. This mixed study investigates the quality of sibling relationships by giving voice to siblings with and without visual impairment, with a focus on the role of social play in their daily lives. Our findings confirm a harmonious relationship quality and the importance of social play in the sibling bond, suggesting that social play may serve as a protective factor for their mental health.
