Trends in Parent-Reported Developmental Disabilities: 2019-2024.
Article in Pediatrics, 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
objectivesTo study the national prevalence of 5 developmental disabilities in children 3-17 years in the United States between 2019 and 2024 as well as changes in prevalence by selected demographic and socioeconomic characteristics.
methodsData come from the National Health Interview Survey, a nationally representative survey of the noninstitutionalized childhood population in the United States, with a focus on attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, autism spectrum disorder, learning disability, intellectual disability, and other developmental delays. All diagnoses are based on parents reporting what they have been told by a physician or other health care professional. Estimates were calculated overall using survey weights and stratified by select demographic and socioeconomic characteristics. Trends were calculated using unadjusted and adjusted logistic regressions.
resultsFrom 2019-2020 to 2023-2024, even after adjustment, there was an overall increase in the prevalence of any parent-reported developmental disability (16.7% to 20.5%, P < .001), attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (9.5% to 12.0%, P < .001), autism spectrum disorder (3.1% to 4.5%, P < .001), learning disability (7.6% to 8.8%, P < .001), and for any other developmental delay (5.5% to 6.4%, P < .05). There was not a significant increase in intellectual disability during this period.
conclusionsThe parent-reported prevalence of developmental disability among US children aged 3-17 years increased between 2019 and 2024. These increases could be related to earlier detection and awareness.
