Fine Motor Development Growth Curves for Down Syndrome.
Article in Journal of child neurology, 2026. 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
This study seeks to develop fine motor development growth curves for children with Down syndrome, specifically related to grasping and visual motor integration skills. A cross-sectional retrospective chart review was completed on a large cohort of children with Down syndrome from birth to 6 years of age who completed the Peabody Developmental Motor Scales-2nd Edition (PDMS-2). Although both fine motor and visual motor development were delayed in children with Down syndrome compared with typically developing peers, and a negative association between fine motor quotient and age was observed, grasping and visual motor integration raw scores increased with age. The Down syndrome-specific percentile curves developed here may enable providers to identify individuals requiring further investigation, and will be useful in future studies of factors that may influence fine motor development in Down syndrome. These data will also help parents better understand their children's development and interpret developmental test results.
