1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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 explores the impact of embodied musical engagement on non-cognitive skills and rehabilitation outcomes in children with special needs. A sample of 294 children was recruited (68.7% male; largest age subgroup: 7-9 years, 33.7%) for this investigation. Using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM), the study examined the direct effects of musical engagement on rehabilitation performance and the mediating role of non-cognitive skills-such as attention control, emotion regulation, task persistence, and cooperative behavior. Results revealed that embodied musical engagement had a significant direct effect on rehabilitation performance (
