Understanding the experience of adults with dyslexia: a quantitative and qualitative analysis.

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
Dyslexia is a neurobiological disorder characterized by persistent difficulties in reading, writing and spelling. Studying adults with dyslexia is challenging due to diverse experiences, varying ages of diagnosis and potential comorbidities. This study utilized a mixed-method approach to explore how the timing and occurrence of a dyslexia diagnosis influence individuals' experiences. Descriptive analysis revealed heterogeneous responses concerning age of diagnosis and overall experience, with predictor variables including perceived reading severity, family dyslexia diagnosis, comorbidities and self-perceptions of disability, intelligence, frustration, laziness, empowerment and self-restraint. To further investigate these associations, three classification and regression trees (CART) were constructed, showing that individuals diagnosed early or late without comorbidities were more likely to report positive or neutral experiences. A qualitative reflexive thematic analysis identified six themes: (1) internalizing effects of dyslexia, (2) perceived experience of dyslexia, (3) perceived perception by others, (4) shifts in experience over time, (5) acceptance and (6) coping skills. These qualitative findings complemented the descriptive and CART results, providing a comprehensive understanding of dyslexia experiences and secondary effects based on the age of diagnosis. This combined analysis underscores the importance of early diagnosis and the absence of comorbidities in shaping positive outcomes for individuals with dyslexia.
