Tablet Assessment of Cognition in Down Syndrome: Comparison of Researcher and Caregiver Administration.
Article in Journal of intellectual disability research : JIDR, 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
backgroundIdentifying flexible and rigorous methods to administer assessments in Down syndrome research is critical for limiting participation burden. Tablet assessments have the potential to be presented remotely, but consistency between researcher and caregiver administrations is unknown.
methodParticipants were 24 children with Down syndrome aged 10-17 years and their caregivers. Children completed two sessions: one administered by their caregiver and one administered by research staff. Tablet measures were selected from the NIH Toolbox and the Cambridge Neuropsychological Test Automated Battery (CANTAB).
resultsThere were no significant differences between child performance on researcher-administered compared to caregiver-administered NIH Toolbox Flanker, CANTAB RTI and CANTAB PAL measures. Floor effects impacted additional measures with high agreement (NIH Toolbox Pattern Comparison).
conclusionsTask completion did not differ across administrators, demonstrating evidence for parents' ability to facilitate assessments. Inconsistent agreement statistics warrant future work in larger samples and additional understanding of child tablet assessment performance.
