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

backgroundOne of the linguistic features of people with Developmental Language Disorder (DLD) is found in the use of different types of morphology. People with DLD have serious difficulties in the use of grammatical morphology, and some studies suggest that this factor could constitute a clinical marker of the disorder. The goal of this research was to discover the distinctive characteristics of the different morphological subareas in people with DLD.

methodsThe sample consisted of 90 children and adolescents between 6 and 15 years old, of which 47 were diagnosed with DLD and the remaining 43 were in the Typical Development (TD) group. The two groups were matched in chronological age. The assessment instrument used was the morphology scale of the BLOC-C test, which includes 19 different subareas of morphology, among which are inflectional and verbal morphology.

resultsThe results have shown that people with DLD perform at a lower level than the TD group in all morphology subareas, as well as in the mean and percentile obtained.

conclusionsThese data have led us to explore explanations based on several hypotheses and to confirm the research outlining the explicit morphological difficulties in people with DLD.
