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
BACKGROUND/
objectivesLeisure participation is vital for children's development and family inclusion, yet families of children with developmental delays and disabilities face significant barriers. Guided by a health literacy framework, this study examined how personal and organizational health literacy shape access to inclusive leisure opportunities.
methodsSemi-structured interviews were conducted with 14 caregivers of young children (aged 2 to 6 years) with developmental delays and disabilities. A qualitative content analysis was applied to identify family and environmental factors shaping leisure participation.
resultsFamilies with stronger personal health literacy engaged in diverse leisure activities, prioritizing children's development through park visits and structured home routines. In contrast, weak organizational health literacy-reflected in limited inclusive facilities and support systems-restricted opportunities, increased caregiver stress, and forced adaptations such as traveling farther or rescheduling activities. These barriers underscored families' vulnerability to exclusion while also highlighting their resilience in navigating daily life.
conclusionsThis study demonstrates that health literacy functions at both personal and organizational levels to shape leisure participation. Beyond identifying barriers, it shows that leisure is intertwined with developmental needs and school readiness. By applying a health literacy lens, the study contributes to understanding family dynamics in inclusive leisure and underscores the need for responsive community services and inclusive policies.
