Word Reading and Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder in Children With Developmental Language Disorder.
Article in American journal of speech-language pathology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
purposeThis study evaluated the relationship between word reading and symptoms of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in school-age children with and without developmental language disorder (DLD), considering the influence of cognitive-linguistic mechanisms associated with dyslexia (phonological memory) and ADHD (working memory).
methodCommunity ascertainment and blinded assessments identified 46 confirmed DLD and 76 cases of typical language development from a screening sample of 420 second and third graders. Language, word reading, ADHD symptoms, nonverbal intelligence, working memory, and phonological memory were assessed.
resultsIn all models, phonological memory was associated with word reading, and working memory was associated with ADHD symptoms. Additionally, in the new model of association that accounted for comorbidity with cognitive-linguistic indices, named the "Reading, ADHD, and Language (RE.A.L.) Comorbidity Model," word reading was uniquely mediated by phonological memory.
conclusionsFindings highlight the unique role cognitive-linguistic indices associated with dyslexia and ADHD play in explaining the relationship between DLD, word reading, and ADHD symptoms. Results indicate that ADHD symptoms did not predict poor word reading; only phonological memory mediated the relationship between DLD and word reading difficulties associated with dyslexia. Similarly, working memory was associated with ADHD symptoms only. Findings underline the importance of including cognitive-linguistic indices associated with dyslexia and ADHD in evaluating word reading and ADHD symptoms in children with DLD.
