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
Published research on Paralympic sport in Central Asia remains limited despite the region's growing presence at the Games. This review focuses on elite, Games-level participation and achievement. We conducted a scoping review reported in line with the PRISMA extension for scoping reviews, alongside an analysis of International Paralympic Committee (IPC) archival data for five Central Asian countries (Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan) across Summer (1996-2024) and Winter (1994-2026) Games, framed through the SPLISS model and the constraint-led approach. The scoping review maps international knowledge; the IPC analysis documents regional outcomes, offering complementary evidence. The review identified three domains: income-, gender-, and technology-linked participation gaps (D1); discipline-specific age profiles ranging from a median of 25 years in Para Swimming to 38 years in Para Equestrian (D2); and ten national policy factors linked to Paralympic success (D3). IPC data showed Central Asian participation rising from 15 athletes in 1996 to 113 in 2024, led by Uzbekistan (
