The interrelationships between developmental domains in 3- to 6-year-olds with fine and gross motor developmental risks-results of a prospective dynamic cohort study.
Article in BMC pediatrics, 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
backgroundMotor skills of school-age children have an impact on learning, school results, and leading a healthy life. However, prevalence rates of motor developmental delays are increasing. Still there is a lack of understanding interrelationships between developmental domains of preschool aged children.
methodsWe used data from the project "GIF MV", a prospective dynamic cohort study. In this study, cross sectional data was used from the survey year 2023. To detect developmental delays of pre-schoolers a standardized, objective and valid screening method was used ("Dortmund Developmental Screening for Preschools-Revision (DESK 3-6 R)"). We determined associated variables for fine and gross motor developmental risks in preschoolers using Generalized Linear Mixed Models (n = 7,542 children).
resultsFine motor risks were observed in 16.8% of the children (gross motor risks: 12.2%). A gross motor developmental risk was strongest associated with a fine motor developmental risk (and vice versa). Nevertheless, gender and almost all other developmental domains are statistically significantly associated with motor developmental risks, e.g., with developmental risks in the DESK domains "Basic competencies in mathematics" (OR: 4.34, 95% CI: 2.03; 9.27) and "Attention and concentration" (OR: 3.77, 95% CI: 1.8; 7.91).
conclusionSince analysis on variables revealed statistically significant associations between motor risks and risks in the remaining developmental domains and gender, activities designed to promote motor skills should include more than just motor developmental domains.
trial registrationThe study was retrospectively registered on 29 October 2018 in the German Clinical Trial Register (ID: DRKS00015134).
