Psychomotor development in children aged 12-23 months from communities in southern Ecuador: a descriptive research note.
Article in BMC research notes, 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
objectiveTo describe psychomotor development in children aged 12 to 23 months from rural and urban communities in southern Ecuador using the Abbreviated Development Scale (EAD-1).
resultsA total of 138 children were evaluated in the cantons of Calvas and Gonzanamá (56.5% male; mean age 17.75 months [95% CI: 17.14-18.36]). Most participants were classified in the medium developmental category (51.4%), while 24.6% were categorized in the alert level. The personal-social domain showed the highest proportion of alert classifications (42.8%), followed by the hearing-language and gross motor domains (28.3% each). Fine motor-adaptive performance showed more favorable distributions, with most children classified in the medium and medium-high categories. These findings reflect developmental performance within a non-probabilistic sample and should be interpreted as descriptive.
