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

purposeChildhood literacy predicts long-term learning outcomes and comprises decoding and linguistic comprehension skills. Decoding involves pattern recognition and sentence parsing, while linguistic comprehension requires understanding semantic context. Each component may differentially relate to social processing, carrying implications for reading among children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) who often exhibit atypical social processing and communication.

methodsWe investigated relationships between social behavior patterns and literacy subskills among children aged 6-11 with (n = 18) and without (n = 27) ASD. We examined associations between behavioral attunement during a cooperative task between children and their parent, children's scores on standardized reading assessments, and children's autism symptoms. Behavioral attunement was coded through video recordings of child-parent interactions.

resultsControlling for general intelligence, behavioral attunement was positively associated with reading comprehension and negatively associated with phonemic decoding and autism symptom severity in neurotypical and autistic children. While behavioral attunement's positive relationship with reading comprehension was driven by the subsample with ASD, its negative relationships with phonemic decoding and autism symptoms were only present for the full sample.

conclusionThese findings support a significant influence of social processing on linguistic comprehension skills, particularly among children with ASD, as well as an influence of autism symptoms on behavioral attunement, even in children without a formal ASD diagnosis.
