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

School readiness ensures a successful home to school transition. However, not much is known about physical readiness. This study explores parental perceptions of physical school readiness and resilience in preschool children. Qualitative data (n = 20) were collected through interviews from the sample drawn purposively using snowball in Cameroon. Parents and teachers of 3-to-5-year-old children were asked to provide perceptions of child physical readiness and their implications on resilience. Results from thematic and content analysis revealed that physically ready children exhibited autonomous gross and fine motor abilities. Caregivers described mental resilience as persistence in the face of difficulty. They reported concern for bullying when their children showed lack of physical readiness, self-confidence, coordination, and cognitive skills. Other conditions such as stunted growth and being overly-pampered by caregivers were presented as diminishing resilience. Providing an enabling yet safe environment that facilitates optimal motor skills is viewed as enhancing school readiness and resilience.
