Life Outcomes in Young Adults With Early Language Difficulties: A County-Based Register Study.
Article in Acta paediatrica (Oslo, Norway : 1992), 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
aimOur aim was to explore life outcomes in young adulthood (late twenties) for children who screened positive and negative, respectively, for language difficulties at the routine visit to the Child Health Services (CHS) at 2.5 years of age.
methodPublic register data were used to compare a group of 25 children with early suspected Developmental Language Disorder (DLD group) and a matched group of 80 children who did not screen positive (non-DLD group). They were compared with regard to results at the 4-year routine developmental check-up at the CHS, eligibility for upper-secondary school, psychiatric diagnoses, psychiatric medication, unemployment, and financial support.
resultsIt was found that 29% of the DLD group and 9% of the non-DLD group had failed the 4-year check-up, that 24% versus 11% were not eligible for upper-secondary school at 16 years of age and that, in their late twenties, 40% versus 22% had received a psychiatric diagnosis and 16% versus 9% had received public financial support. Only negligible differences were found between the groups for prescribed psychiatric medication and unemployment.
conclusionThere was a trend indicating more persistent neurodevelopmental and academic problems and/or psychiatric diagnoses in the group with early suspected DLD.
