Assessing postural control deficits with the Balance Evaluation Systems test for children, second edition in children with Developmental Coordination Disorder.
Article in Brazilian journal of physical therapy. 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
backgroundPostural control deficits are highly prevalent in children with Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD). We developed an extended, age-specific version of the Balance Evaluation Systems test for children (Kids-BESTest-2; age 5-12) that allows for the identification of specific deficient postural control systems by assessing corresponding postural control test domains.
objectiveTo assess the clinical value of the Kids-BESTest-2 in identifying postural control deficits in children with Developmental Coordination Disorder (DCD) by evaluating its construct and predictive validity.
methodsWe included 89 typically developing (TD) children and 66 children with DCD (age 5-12). Construct validity was established by: 1) exploring differences in Kids-BESTest-2 scores between the known groups (DCD/TD) using the Mann-Whitney U test, 2) determining internal relationships and relationships with child-specific factors with the Spearman rank correlations. Predictive validity was investigated with binary logistic regression analysis.
resultsTD children outperformed (p<0.001) their DCD peers on the Kids-BESTest-2. The Kids-BESTest-2 correlates moderately (ρ=0.69-0.78, p<0.001) to strongly (ρ=0.79-0.88, p<0.001) with domain scores. The Kids-BESTest-2 total score significantly correlates with the MABC-2 total score (ρ= 0.62, p<0.001), the MABC-2 balance score (ρ=0.64, p<0.001), and age (ρ=0.40, p<0.001). Age and MABC-2 total and balance scores predict a Kids-BESTest-2 total score < 80%, with a 92.0% sensitivity, 92.9% specificity.
conclusionsThe Kids-BESTest-2 is a valid tool to identify and specify postural control deficits in children with DCD. Clinicians can decide to administer the Kids-BEST-test-2 by using age and MABC-2 total and balance scores to predict performance.
