Understanding Heritability in the Context of Reading Ability and Instruction.
Article in The Reading League journal. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
In this paper, we discuss what heritability is and how it is measured, and explain why estimates of heritability are not always the same in different scientific papers. After providing this foundational knowledge, we bust some common myths about heritability. We end with discussing how teachers can use their knowledge about heritability in their own practice.
