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

Recent evidence suggests that there are age-related neurocognitive implications for fragile X premutation carriers, including deficits in executive function, and that such deficits are more common in male than female premutation carriers. The purpose of the current study is to examine one aspect of executive function, language dysfluencies, in a group of 193 women with the premutation, and to contrast them with a comparison group (mothers of children with autism spectrum disorders). Our results demonstrate a linguistic profile in the female premutation carriers characterized by dysfluencies associated with deficits in organization and planning, with a clear impact of age. The comparison group, matched on both age and education level, did not demonstrate the age effect. Our results suggest dysfluencies could be an early indicator of cognitive aging in some female premutation carriers, and could be used to target early intervention.
