Remediation Program with Working Memory and Reading for Students with Learning Difficulties: Elaboration and Pilot Study.
Article in Children (Basel, Switzerland), 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
BACKGROUND/
objectivesA child's working memory needs to be efficient in order to perform well at school, because its manipulative function needs to work properly in order to compose and decompose words, a skill that is necessary for reading. Therefore, if a child with an alteration in this type of memory reads a more complex sentence, they will have difficulty storing it until other cognitive processes involved in language comprehension and production take place, leading to impaired reading comprehension. The aim of this study was to develop and verify the applicability of a remediation program for working memory and reading in students with learning difficulties from the third to fifth grades of primary school.
methodsThe study was carried out in two phases: phase 1 developed the program on the basis of a literature review, and phase 2 verified the applicability of the program in a pilot study with 21 schoolchildren divided into two groups. The subjects were subjected to tests of metalinguistic and reading skills and the Brief Child Neuropsychological Assessment Instrument.
resultsThe working memory and reading remediation program consisted of 11 tasks developing phonological and visuospatial working memory. From the results of the application of the Remediation Program With Working Memory and Reading (RP-WMR) in a pilot study, it was possible to verify the applicability of the program; in other words, the strategies developed for students with learning difficulties can be generalised and applied to students who have deficits in working memory and reading.
conclusionsThe result of this research indicates that the structured program for remediation of working memory difficulties has proven to be applicable and can help education professionals as a tool for intervening in working memory deficits and reading decoding skills presented by students with learning difficulties.
