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

purposeThis network meta-analysis was conducted to evaluate and rank the effects of different exercise interventions on balance and coordination in children and adolescents with intellectual disability (ID).

methodsMultiple databases, including CBM, CNKI, Wanfang, VIP, PubMed, Web of Science, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL), the Cochrane Library, and Embase, were systematically searched from inception to 23 December 2025. A total of 25 randomized controlled trials involving 897 participants were included.

resultsBased on ranking probabilities, functional training combined with sensory rehabilitation programs showed relatively favorable effects on both balance and coordination.

conclusionOverall, the findings suggest that exercise interventions may be effective strategies for enhancing motor function in children and adolescents with ID.
