Mixed-methods evaluation of multi-sport activity days for children and adolescents with disability in Australia.
Article in JSAMS plus, 2025. 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
Background: Children and adolescents with disability (CAWD) face many barriers to sport participation and report lower levels of physical activity compared with children and adolescents without disability. Multi-sport activity days (MSADs) could address several barriers to sport participation faced by CAWD. This study examined the experiences of CAWD at MSADs, including both facilitators and barriers to participation that these children and adolescents faced. Methods: This study was a mixed-methods evaluation of MSADs in New South Wales (NSW), Australia. This included surveys of the parents/carers of CAWD who attended a MSAD and interviews with CAWD who attended a MSAD. The survey assessed facilitators and barriers to participation, and the interviews explored CAWD's experiences at MSADs. Results: The 15 MSADs held across NSW reached a total of 1839 CAWD. Of these, 86 (5 %) parents/carers completed a survey, and 6 CAWD participated in an interview. The interviews revealed that CAWD who attended the MSADs reported positive experiences, highlighting social connections, a sense of commonality and belonging, increased self-esteem, confidence, skills development, and a sense of joy (interview data). Common barriers to sport participation included cost (32 %), not knowing where to play (28 %), lack of appropriate sporting competitions (28 %), lack of interest (28 %), and not knowing how to play (26 %) (survey data). Conclusions: MSADs can provide positive sport experiences and overcome some barriers to participation for CAWD. However, ongoing support and accessible participation pathways are required to translate initial engagement into sustained involvement in sport.
