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: The COVID-19 pandemic raised concerns about its impact on children with developmental delays and disabilities (DDDs). Early research showed diverse trajectories, with some children experiencing worsening challenges while others demonstrated resilience. In our prior study, conducted 3 months into the pandemic, we identified a resilient group associated with higher parenting self-efficacy and easier access to schooling. As the pandemic persisted, children's functioning may have fluctuated. While adults showed varied trajectories 1 year post-pandemic, little is known about longer-term patterns in children with DDDs. Identifying these patterns nearly 2 years later, along with predictors of resilience, is essential for guiding future interventions. Objectives: To identify patterns of functioning 20 months post-pandemic onset and examine associations with gender, parenting self-efficacy, and access to schooling. Methods: As part of the UNICEF-WHO Global Report initiative, we conducted online caregiver surveys across Canada at T1 (June-July 2020) and T2 (November-December 2021). Latent class analysis identified profiles of functioning at T2, and multinomial logistic regression examined associations with T1 predictors. Results: Among 302 respondents, we identified four profiles: Moderate Stability ( Conclusion: Early-pandemic factors-gender, parenting self-efficacy, and school access-significantly predicted resilience in children with DDDs. These factors may serve as intervention targets to promote long-term stability and recovery.
