Social Functioning in Children With Spina Bifida: An Integrative Review.
Review in Sage open pediatrics. 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
Background: Spina bifida (SB) is a congenital disorder often leading to disability and limited social participation. Children with SB face challenges engaging at home, school, and in the community. This review examined the types and degrees of social functioning in children with SB. Methods: Researchers searched 5 databases (CINAHL, MEDLINE, PubMed, EMBASE, and PsycINFO) for studies of various designs, both qualitative and quantitative, published between 2000 and 2025 that involved children with spina bifida (SB) aged 18 years or younger. Results: Findings revealed restricted participation with peers and family due to continence issues, motor impairments, stigma, and cognitive difficulties. Four domains of social functioning emerged: school and community participation, peer relationships and freindships, family interactions and parental role, and independence and autonomy. Conclusions: Children with SB demonstrate reduced social functioning. More research is needed to clarify the impact of parental expectations on social outcomes.
