Barriers and facilitators to participation in physical activity for students with disabilities in an integrated school setting: a meta-synthesis of qualitative research evidence.

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
Purpose: This review investigates the factors influencing the participation of students with disabilities (SWD) in physical activities (PA) within integrated school settings. Materials and methods: A keyword search of articles published up to May 2024 identified 22 studies meeting the inclusion criteria. Thematic synthesis was used to analyze the data, resulting in a dynamic theoretical model. Results: The model encompasses 19 themes, including an individual-level "Special factor" and three phases: perspectives from school administrators (First phase), a two-way dialogue between school management and staff (Second phase), and interactions among staff, SWD, and peers (Third phase). The final phase, based on basic psychological needs theory, identifies autonomy, competence, and relatedness needs. Conclusion: The dynamic model highlights that no single factor fully explains SWD participation in PA within inclusive environments. Educators must consider physiological, behavioral, and cognitive aspects, as well as mediating factors and processes (three phases), to design tailored strategies that address SWD needs and foster a supportive environment.
