Impact of play-based intervention and parental support on motor skills, behavioral problems, and parenting stress in Japanese children with probable developmental coordination disorder: A randomized controlled trial.

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
Aim: Developmental coordination disorder (DCD) is associated with motor impairments, behavioral and emotional challenges, and elevated parenting stress. While motor-skill training is an effective intervention for DCD, its impact on psychosocial effects remains uncertain. Therefore, in this study, we aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of combined motor-skill training and direct parental support-based intervention in reducing behavioral problems and parenting stress in Japanese children with probable DCD (pDCD). Methods: A randomized controlled trial was conducted involving 20 children aged 6-15 years who met the diagnostic criteria for pDCD. Group comparisons were performed using the Mann-Whitney Results: No significant improvements in motor function were observed in either group. However, a significant reduction in both behavioral problems and parenting stress was observed in the intervention group, whereas no statistically significant changes were observed in the control group. Conclusion: The integrated intervention may help reduce parenting stress and alleviate behavioral challenges in children with pDCD. These results highlight the importance of multidimensional support strategies that address both child and parental needs.
