Rapid automatized naming (RAN): effects of aging on a predictor of reading skill.

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
Rapid Automatized Naming (RAN), a task in which participants must name a series of items as rapidly as possible, has been very useful as a measure of cognitive abilities that predict reading skill both in children and in young adults (YAs). This study examined RAN performance of 100 YAs and 80 cognitively healthy older adults (OAs). RAN performance was highly reliable but showed only a few weak correlations to other measures of individual differences used to study cognitive aging. RAN performance did not differ significantly by age group for symbolic RANs but was significantly slower for OAs than YAs for non-symbolic RANs. This pattern suggests that healthy aging is associated with little to no decline in the ability to sustain overlapping encoding and production of a sequence of items when it involves the form-to-form mapping required by symbolic RANs but with measurable decline in that ability when it involves the concept-to-form mapping required by non-symbolic RANs.
