The contributions of biological maturity and experience to fine motor development in adolescence.

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
Fine motor function develops into adulthood, but little is known about the differential effects of biological maturation and experience on speed and complex sequential performance of the hand. The objective of the study was to disentangle the differential effects of biological maturation, chronological age, and specific motor experience on fine motor skills of the hand during adolescence. To determine maturity levels, ultrasonic bone age (BA) was assessed in 225 adolescents (123 females; BA mean 13.4 ± 1.5 years, range: 9.9 to 17.9 years). The role of experience was evaluated based on chronological age (CA, mean 13.5 ± 1.2 years, range: 11.1 to 16.5 years), musical instrumental experience, and handedness. When specific musical instrumental experience is not present, biological maturation level is a significant predictor of complex fine motor performance, while chronological age predicts simple repetitive motor performance. When present, the amount of highly specific musical instrumental experience becomes the main predictor of sequential performance.
