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

Dyslexia is a neurodevelopmental condition characterized by reading difficulties, yet there is growing evidence for coinciding social and emotional strengths. In our previous work, we found children with dyslexia displayed greater emotional facial behavior to affective stimuli than their well-reading peers, an enhancement that related to better social skills. Traditional measures provide static "snapshots" of emotional facial behavior but overlook important dynamic information about the face's movements that may confer interpersonal advantages. Here, we examined whether variability in emotional facial behavior was heightened in children with dyslexia and associated with social communication benefits. We coded the second-by-second intensities of ten emotional facial behaviors in 54 children (ages 7-14) with ( Supplementary Information: The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s10919-025-00490-3.
