Developing the Creative Abilities of Children with Learning Differences in Rural, Low-Resource Settings in Africa: A Case Series Study.
Article in Brain and behavior, 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
introductionCreative ability is an important outcome of developmental support programs, as it helps to lay the foundation for better long-term participation and well-being. Children with learning differences risk underdeveloping this potential, especially those in rural, low-resource African settings. AIM AND
methodsThis study aimed to determine the potential outcomes of Create2Grow, a new community-based occupational therapy visual arts group intervention for children aged 8 to 12 years with mild to moderate neurodevelopmental disorders, using a case series research design with eight children recruited via convenience sampling.
resultsThe intervention had a large clinical effect on participants' caregiver-rated Canadian Occupational Performance Measure scores (d = 1.5) and clinician-rated Creative Participation Assessment scores (d = 1.76) from pre- to post-intervention. Create2Grow was also rated as highly in demand, acceptable, and practical for the target group. Low study attrition rates showed that the intervention could be effectively implemented at a local school within the community.
conclusionCreate2Grow is a promising solution to promoting the creative ability of children with learning differences in rural, low-resource settings in Africa.
