1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Research interest in the motor skills of children with neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) such as autism spectrum disorder and developmental language disorder is growing, for purposes including the prediction of language outcomes. Gross, fine, and oral motor skills are each associated with language development. However, research within these motor domains has largely proceeded along separate paths, with few studies examining how they codevelop and interact with language in children with NDDs. We propose that a unified developmental framework integrating these motor domains could enhance the prediction of language outcomes and the characterization of diverse clinical populations.
