Pilot Implementation of an Intervention Program to Promote Fine Motor Skills in Preschoolers: Feasibility and Acceptability.

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
Background: Early intervention programs are needed for children at risk of fine motor delays. Due to the scarcity of community occupational therapists, alternative services are being developed through collaboration with related professionals. Objective: This study was aimed at evaluating the feasibility and acceptability of a pilot intervention program designed to promote fine motor skill development in preschoolers attending early childhood educational settings in a community. Methods: A pilot quasi-experimental design was employed. Thirty preschoolers (aged 2-6 years) were identified as at-risk for fine motor delays and recruited from early childhood educational settings in a community in Chiang Mai province, Thailand. The intervention program was tailored to five age groups and comprised 20 activity sessions (10 h total) that focused on both bilateral motor coordination and visual-motor integration. Content validity of the program was assessed by five experts. Feasibility was evaluated by using McNemar's test. Acceptability was explored through a focus group of seven teachers as program users. Then, qualitative data were analyzed by thematic analysis. Results: McNemar's test was employed to evaluate the change in fine motor development for paired dichotomous data ("still delayed" vs. "normal/improved"). At postintervention, 22 out of 30 children (73.33%) demonstrated improved fine motor development, with significant statistical support ( Conclusion: This teacher-led collaborative service provides promising preliminary evidence of a feasible and acceptable approach to promoting fine motor skills in at-risk preschoolers, though further rigorous studies are needed to confirm its efficacy.
