Object and action naming in adults and aged people with Down syndrome.

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
Down syndrome (DS) is a genetic condition associated with cognitive and linguistic impairments, presenting specific challenges in aging and an increased risk of cognitive decline. Objective: To evaluate naming alterations in adults and older individuals with DS using the Object and Action Naming Battery (OANB) and to identify the influence of age, educational attainment, and degree of intellectual disability (ID) on linguistic performance. Methods: This study included 26 individuals diagnosed with DS aged ≥20 years, assessed with the Cambridge Examination for Mental Disorders of Older Persons with Down Syndrome and Other People with Intellectual Disabilities (CAMDEX-DS) for cognitive evaluation and the OANB, a visual confrontation naming test including 162 objects and one hundred actions. Results: No significant differences were found between groups based on ID level in object and action naming. Literate individuals performed better than non-literates in object naming (p=0.033), while verb naming was not influenced by educational level. Age did not correlate with naming performance, suggesting that typical aging is not an isolated determinant of naming impairment. Conclusion: Our results indicate that contextual factors, such as educational level, have a greater impact on linguistic performance than intrinsic factors, such as ID degree or age. The OANB proved to be an effective tool for identifying performance patterns and supporting interventions for DS persons.
