Verb vocabularies are shaped by complex meanings from the onset of development.

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
Verbs and nouns vary in many ways - including in how they are used in language and in the timing of their early learning. We compare the distribution of semantic features that comprise early-acquired verb and noun meanings. Given overall semantic and syntactic differences between nouns and verbs, we hypothesized that the preference for directly perceptible features observed for nouns would be attenuated for verbs. Building on prior work using semantic features and semantic networks in nouns, we find that compared to early-learned nouns (N = 359), early-learned verbs (N = 103) have meanings disproportionately built from complex information inaccessible to the senses. Further, children's early verb vocabularies (N = 3,804) show semantic relationships strongly shaped by this complex information from the beginning of vocabulary development. Complexity is observed in early verb meanings and is reflected in the vocabularies of children even at the outset of verb learning.
