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

BACKGROUND/

objectivesThe relationship between executive functions, special educational needs (SEN), and psychopathology in school-aged children is critical to the design of effective educational and therapeutic interventions. This study examines the connection between executive functions, SEN, schoolchildren's psychopathology, and parental mental health. The objectives were to describe the psychopathological profiles of schoolchildren, to analyze the psychopathological differences between students with and without SEN, and to know the mental health status of parents of children with SEN.

methodsA total of 123 schoolchildren with and without SEN, together with their parents, participated in the study. Validated instruments were used to assess executive functions and child psychopathology, and an ad hoc register was used to assess parental mental health. In addition, sociodemographic and clinical data were collected.

resultsThe results revealed that children with SEN showed a significantly more affected psychopathological profile compared to their peers without SEN in all areas assessed. In addition, parents of children with SEN reported higher levels of emotional overburden (

conclusionsThese findings underscore the importance of considering both executive functions and psychopathological profiles in designing educational and therapeutic interventions for children with SEN. It is recommended that intervention programs should comprehensively address the educational and emotional needs of children, as well as the well-being of their parents, with a specific focus on improving executive functions and reducing psychopathological disorders.
