Dissecting executive dysfunction in children: The role of psychosocial disabilities through Bayesian and ANOVA approaches.
Article in PloS one, 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
This study investigates the relationship between executive dysfunction and psychosocial disabilities in children aged 8-11, utilizing data from the Korean Child Panel Study collected between 2015 and 2018. The dataset, consisting of 1,196 valid responses, was analyzed using a Latent Growth Model, which revealed that a quadratic model best fit the data. Results indicated that executive dysfunction scores plateaued until age 10 before slightly declining. Children with psychosocial disabilities showed significantly higher levels of executive dysfunction than their peers without such disabilities, with a notable increase over time. We compared the average executive dysfunction levels between children with no psychosocial disorders (N = 1,174) and those with psychosocial disorders (N = 22) using repeated measures ANOVA. To address the small sample size of the psychosocial disorders group, both Bayesian repeated measures analysis and repeated measures ANOVA were performed. The ANOVA identified significant interaction and main effects, while the Bayesian analysis highlighted significant main effects. This discrepancy underscores the need for nuanced methodologies when dealing with small populations. The study confirms a positive correlation between psychosocial disabilities and executive dysfunction observed internationally, emphasizing its relevance to Korean children. These findings underscore the importance of early recognition and intervention for children with psychosocial and cognitive difficulties.
