Health-related quality of life in children with neurodevelopmental disorders in Bangladesh.
Article in Journal of public health research, 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
Background: Neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) are chronic disorders considered an emerging public health problem. This condition can markedly impair the Health-related Quality of Life (HRQoL). This study aimed to examine the HRQoL among children with NDDs. Design and methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among 73 parents/caregivers of children with NDDs aged 2-12 years. Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory 4.0 Generic Core Scale was used to assess the HRQoL. A multiple linear regression model was performed to assess the association. Results: Among the 73 parents/caregivers, majority of their children fell into 2-4 year age group, with 70% being male. In contrast to other NDDs, this study highlights that the mean HRQoL scores for Cerebral palsy (CP), Down syndrome, Intellectual disability (ID), Motor disorders, and Neurogenetic disorders were below 50 on the 0-100 scale. The analysis of variance revealed a significant effect of NDD categories on the physical domain of QoL. Findings from regression analysis highlight that the physical functioning domain of QoL was significantly influenced by factors including age [ß: 2.44; 95%CI: (0.07, 4.81)], various NDDs, such as Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder [ß: -25.54, 95%CI: (-43.12, -7.96)], Autism [ß: -25.44, 95%CI: (-41.51, -9.37)], CP [ß: -46.52, 95%CI: (-65.41, -17.62)], Down syndrome [ß: -42.33, 95%CI: (-63.28, -21.37)], ID [ß: -46.14, 95%CI: (-82.61, -9.67)] and motor disorder [ß: -77.07, 95%CI: (-103.32, -50.82)] and stable family income [ß: 16.37; 95%CI: (3.44, 29.29)]. This study also underscores that emotional functioning was significantly influenced by sex [ß: 18.27; 95%CI: (4.57, 31.97)], motor disorders [ß: -36.15, 95%CI: (-67.14, -5.16)], and social functioning was influenced by birth order 3rd/more [ß: 32.24;95%CI: (7.43, 57.04)]. Conclusions: This exploratory study highlights that multiple factors may influence various domains of HRQoL, including physical, emotional, social, and school functioning in children, providing a foundation for future studies.
