Interventions for children with developmental coordination disorder: A scoping review.
Article in Developmental medicine and child neurology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
aimTo identify, qualify, and synthesize the characteristics of interventions for children with diagnosed and suspected developmental coordination disorder (DCD) worldwide.
methodThis was a scoping review, with searches in eight bibliographical databases without language restrictions. All interventions involving children and adolescents with motor coordination disorders were included, with content analyses involving the type and context of the intervention and interventionists, the outcomes addressed, and the findings reported and considered regarding the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health framework.
resultsFrom 30 637 hits, 202 distinct studies were identified, including 206 interventions with a total of 4593 children or adolescents. The children included were often poorly defined. Movement activities were offered through task-oriented, motor skill, and sports training approaches with active video games and sensory-perceptual motor skills training reported the most frequently. Long-term psychosocial and participation outcomes were less explored.
interpretationFuture intervention studies need to be clearer on the diagnostic criteria and details of DCD, including individual(s) who delivered the training, the type of training, session intensity, and the delivery mode. Outcome measures should consider three critical domains: (1) practical application of learned motor skills in daily life; (2) environmental and psychosocial impacts; and (3) parental awareness and support.
