Factors associated with social participation among children with fragile X syndrome.
Article in Disability and health journal, 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
backgroundSocial participation may increase quality of life for children with disabilities. However, few studies have explored social participation among children with fragile X syndrome (FXS).
objectivesThe objectives of this analysis were to describe social participation among children with FXS, associations with demographic and clinical characteristics, and caregiver-reported barriers to social participation.
methodsChildren with FXS aged 5-17 years were identified using data collected 2011-2021 in the Fragile X Online Registry With Accessible Research Database. Caregivers reported on types of social activities the child was involved in and specific barriers to social participation. Chi-square tests of independence were used to compare distributions by sex and modified Poisson regression was used to estimate unadjusted and adjusted prevalence ratios (aPRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CI).
resultsAmong children with FXS (n = 830), 81.7% participated in at least one social activity; physical (65.8%) and work or volunteer activities (2.0%) were the most and least common. Children with severe to profound intellectual disability (ID; aPR = 0.57, CI = 0.43-0.77) and emotional dysregulation behaviors (aPR = 0.93, CI = 0.87-1.00) were less likely to participate in a social activity relative to children without these characteristics. Demographic and clinical differences were observed for social participation by activity type. Caregivers most often reported behavioral issues (72.2%), time constraints (64.4%), and lack of community resources (64.2%) as barriers to social participation.
conclusionIncreasing adaptive program availability, activity staff training, and respite support services may improve social participation.
