Analysis of play in children aged 2 to 4 with developmental language disorder.
Article in CoDAS, 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
purposeTo analyze playing in children aged two to four years and eleven months with Developmental Language Disorder (DLD), and to investigate correlations between play, development dimensions, and the variables maternal education, family income and gestational age.
methodsThis is quantitative, cross-sectional research, with 37 children aged between two and four years and eleven months, diagnosed by speech therapists with DLD. This diagnosis was confirmed using two instruments: the Labyrinth Scale which allows a differential assessment between DLD and Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and the Dimensional Inventory of Child Development (IDADI) wich allows confirmation of language development delay, as well as assessment of other dimensions of child development. Play was assessed by analyzing the filming of the interaction between the child and the researcher during the collection of the Labyrinth Scale, considering expected levels for chronological age from two to five years. Based on the identified categories, descriptive and statistical analyses were performed on the variables maternal education, gestational age and family income.
resultsMost children presented a delay of one level or more in play development, accompanied by a significant delay in expressive language. There was a statistical association between play and the fine motor dimension of child development.
conclusionChildren with DLD showed delay in play, and better development in play was positively associated with better performance in fine motor skills, suggesting its relevance as a space for cognitive development and subjectivation.
