Bullying experiences of youth with neuromuscular disorders and their well-being: A survey study.
Article in Journal of neuromuscular diseases, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
purposeBullying is a widespread problem in Canada and throughout the world. Children and youth with chronic illnesses or physical disabilities are more likely to be targets of bullying of all kinds. However, there is a paucity of research about bullying involving youth with neuromuscular disorders. The study aimed to assess the prevalence of bullying in youth with neuromuscular disorders and how bullying rates impact their quality of life and well-being.
methodsAn online survey was administered at a single timepoint to youth with a neuromuscular disorder. The survey captured data about demographics, bullying frequency, quality of life, and emotional well-being. Descriptive statistics summarized demographic and bullying data. Spearman rank correlations measured the relationships between bullying prevalence and quality of life/well-being.
resultsTwenty-nine participants completed the survey (22 male; mean age = 13 years, 10.8 months (SD = 2 years, 10.8 months). Twenty-four of 29 participants (82.8%) had been bullied at some point in their life. Participants reported being bullied most frequently for their appearance and their disability. Bullying did not correlate with quality of life and well-being.
conclusionsParticipants with neuromuscular disorders reported high rates of bullying without impacts on quality of life and well-being. We posit participants exhibit resilience.
