The contribution of executive functions and emotion comprehension skills to the development of pragmatic competence in 5-8-year-old children.

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
A child's pragmatic competence reflects both their social and communicative abilities, as well as their understanding of indirect meaning in words, utterances or discourse. This has led to a growing interest in the development of pragmatics in children. While the contribution of cognitive and emotional developmental aspects to pragmatic competence in general has been explored, the role of the emotion comprehension (EC) and executive functions (EF) in different pragmatic skills is still insufficiently studied. The purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of children's EF, and EC skills, on four core aspects of pragmatic competence (understanding, production, nonverbal means and communication). Participants were children (
