ReviewThe British journal of developmental psychology2026
Some culture is hiding in plain sight in research on child development.
Review in The British journal of developmental psychology, 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
Child development is cultural in nature, yet a divide persists between a (cross-)cultural developmental science niche alongside a seemingly a-cultural mainstream. In particular, childhood research relying on convenience sampling in often Western, post-industrial (i.e., WEIRD) societies rarely ventures into issues of culture and context, promoting excessive overgeneralization and false assumptions of what is considered 'typical' in child development. This article has two aims: First, it illustrates the cultural make-up of the communities traditionally overrepresented yet often unmarked in developmental science, while highlighting important variations within this cluster. Second, it demonstrates how this cultural make-up, in turn, is key to the methods employed, the findings produced and the theories postulated in developmental science. Regardless of where it is conducted, developmental science is a cultural endeavour and thus needs to grapple with its cultural foundations.
