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

Prior work finds that some elements of language input or skills during infancy and toddlerhood predict later language skills. Here, we ask if combining these two sources of information about early language development improves predictions of language outcomes, using a longitudinal data set that captures early language input and abilities over the first 5 years in a sample of 44 American English-learning children. While several early language skills significantly predicted later language skills (Spearman's ρ = 0.44-0.63,
