Ergonomic suitability of special education kindergarten for children with special needs: pilot school example.
Article in BMC pediatrics, 2025. 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
backgroundThe purpose of the study is to evaluate the ergonomic suitability of a special education kindergarten for children with special needs.
methodsIn this study, special education kindergartens were evaluated in terms of ergonomic suitability, based on the structure and standards guidelines determined by UNICEF and the Ministry of National Education of the Republic of Turkey for schools and kindergartens for the disabled. As a result of the evaluation process, ergonomically unsuitable interior and exterior elements of the special education kindergarten were identified and these findings were presented in detail.
resultsAccording to the evaluation results, it was determined that the classroom, lighting, parent waiting area, toys, toilet, cafeteria and security standards were not fully met in the interior, but the heating/cooling, ventilation and hygiene criteria were met. It was determined that the garden, ground and security features in the outdoor area met ergonomic standards, and that there were minimal deficiencies in the play and recreation areas.
conclusionsUniversally accessible architectural designs should be made for all disability groups in special education kindergartens. In order for children to receive education in healthy, safe and comfortable conditions, teachers, school administration, health professionals, architects and engineers should come together to better identify the needs and plan interior and exterior designs. Future studies should focus on developing and validating standardized ergonomic assessment tools tailored to various disability groups in special education settings. Additionally, large-scale and multi-site research is needed to systematically evaluate kindergartens across different geographic regions and educational levels, thereby enhancing the applicability, inclusiveness, and generalizability of ergonomic standards.
