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

backgroundDevelopmental coordination disorder is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterised by motor difficulties that significantly and persistently impact activities of daily living and participation. It has been suggested that children with (probable) developmental coordination disorder (pDCD) experience challenges in the domain of language, speech, and oral motor development.

aimThis systematic review provides an overview of recent studies assessing challenges in these domains in children with (p)DCD.

methodsA systematic search was performed in PubMed, Web of Science, EMBASE, and CINAHL, including all peer-reviewed articles published since January 2002 and up to November 2023 reporting on language, speech, or oral motor performance in children with (p)DCD assessed by standardised instruments. MAIN CONTRIBUTION: A total of fourteen papers were included. The evidence suggests a higher prevalence of speech, language, and oral motor difficulties in children with pDCD.

conclusionMore high-quality research, preferably longitudinal, is necessary to examine the prevalence of language, speech, and oral motor difficulties in children with DCD. The review highlights the heightened speech, language, and oral motor challenges faced by children with pDCD. WHAT THIS PAPER ADDS: What is already known on this subject Developmental coordination disorder impacts the lives of many children. Parents report that children with developmental coordination disorder also may have challenges in language, speech, and oral motor development. What this paper adds to the existing knowledge This study suggests a high prevalence of speech, language, and oral motor difficulties in children with developmental coordination disorder based on standardised measures or diagnosis. What are the potential or actual clinical implications for this work? Clinicians should be aware of a large co-occurrence of developmental coordination disorder and language, speech, and oral motor difficulties to facilitate interventions for the child's difficulties.
