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

backgroundParticipation (attendance and engagement) is important for children's development and well-being. The aim was to study the relationships between attendance, engagement and independence in everyday activities of children with intellectual and other developmental disabilities and to compare patterns between children with and without comprehension difficulties.

methodParticipation and independence (FUNDES-Child-SE) were measured in 131 Swedish participants (aged 5-18 years). The analysis included Mann-Whitney U and Spearman's rank correlation tests.

resultsThe group without comprehension difficulties attended with a frequency more similar to typically developing peers, with higher engagement and independence. There were very strong overall attendance-engagement correlations (r = 0.91 for the group with comprehension difficulties and r = 0.87 for the group without) and attendance-independence correlations (r = 0.86 and r = 0.87), as well as a strong correlation between engagement and independence (r = 0.78 and r = 0.77).

conclusionsDespite strong overall correlations between dimensions, differences across specific activity items underscore the need for targeted assessment and intervention.
