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
Objective: This study aimed to examine the longitudinal relationships among different developmental quotients (DQs) in children with intellectual disability, focusing on the temporal dynamics of adaptive, language, and personal-social development over a two-year period, thereby informing more targeted early intervention strategies. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed data from 94 children (72 males, 22 females, aged 2-5 years) diagnosed with intellectual disability who had continuously received behavioral interventions for neurodevelopmental disorders at our hospital over a two-year period. The dataset included demographic information and DQs for adaptive behavior, language ability, and personal-social skills, which were assessed using the Chinese version of Gesell Developmental Scale. Cross-lagged panel modeling was conducted using Mplus 8.3 to examine the correlations among DQ domains at the same time point, their stability across time, and cross-domain predictive relationships. Results: The reciprocal associations model, which incorporated cross-lagged paths to the stability model, demonstrated good fit. At all time points, adaptive, language, and personal-social DQs were moderately to strongly correlated. Each domain showed high temporal stability, as indicated by significant autoregressive paths. Adaptive DQ at Time 1 and Time 2 significantly predicted language and personal-social DQs at subsequent time points (β = 0.272-0.337, p < 0.01). Additionally, language DQ at Time 1 predicted personal-social DQ at Time 2. In contrast, neither language nor personal-social DQ predicted future adaptive DQ. Conclusion: Adaptive functioning is prospectively associated with later development of language and personal-social skills in children with intellectual disability. Early interventions that prioritize adaptive skill development may yield broader benefits across other developmental domains. Further research is warranted to develop and evaluate intervention models that strategically leverage these directional relationships to optimize long-term outcomes.
