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
Children with developmental disabilities often face challenges in adaptive behavior and motor skills. Aquatics is recognized as a beneficial activity for enhancing physical health and social behavior in this population. The aim of the study was to investigate the impact of a parent-facilitated aquatics program for children with developmental disabilities. Fourteen children with developmental disabilities, accompanied by one biological parent (5 mothers, 9 fathers), participated in an eight-week aquatics program. The outcome measures of the study included pre- and post-intervention assessments of adaptive behavior, utilizing the Korea National Institute of Special Education-Scales of Adaptive Behavior (2005) and motor coordination, including balance, agility, and precision of movement, employing the Körperkoordinationstest Für Kinder (1974). Following the intervention, individual semi-structured interviews were conducted with each parent to explore their perceptions and experiences of the parent-facilitated program for children with developmental disabilities. Quantitative data were analyzed using paired t-tests (α = 0.05), while qualitative data underwent thematic coding and content analysis. A significant improvement (
