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

Background: Cognitive and motor functions in individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities are lower than in the general population. This study examined the effects of Life Kinetik (LK) exercises on motor skills and cognitive functions in adolescents with mild intellectual disabilities (MID). Methods: In this quasi-experimental study, 17 male students (aged 9-12 years; mean 10.47 ± 1.07) were assigned to an experimental group (EG; Results: Significant time × group interactions were found for bilateral and upper-limb coordination, indicating greater improvement in the EG ( Conclusion: Life Kinetik exercises appear to enhance motor coordination and cognitive performance in adolescents with MID. However, due to the small sample size, these findings should be interpreted with caution, and further studies with larger samples are needed. Integrative exercise programs may be a valuable non-pharmacological strategy to support motor and cognitive development in this population. Integrative exercise programs may be a valuable non-pharmacological strategy to support motor and cognitive development in this population.
