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
The relation between pointing and walking in infants was investigated through a 1-year observation study at a daycare center in Tokyo, Japan. The participants were 23 Japanese infants (mean age 13.1 months, 8 boys and 15 girls) from middle-SES families. Data from each infant were analyzed at 4 months before and after the onset of walking. It was shown that as infants develop locomotion, the frequency of pointing, the proportion of social pointing, and the proportion of social pointing accompanied by movement and looking behavior increase, while the proportion of pointing accompanied by prior interaction decreases. These changes were suggested to be more strongly associated with the acquisition of walking than with the infants' age itself. Furthermore, for pointing without prior interaction, it was shown that when pointing was combined with the infant's movement, it tended to increase the success of attentional sharing through pointing.
