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

With the growing prevalence of bilingual education, second language (L2) reading impairment has garnered increasing attention. While extensive research has focused on reading impairment in the first language (L1), the neural mechanisms underlying L2 reading impairment have not been systematically and adequately explored. Neuroimaging studies have identified functional abnormalities in regions such as the occipitotemporal and temporoparietal cortices in children with L2 reading impairment. These neural patterns exhibit both commonalities and differences compared to those observed in L1 reading impairment. In this review, we summarized the neurocognitive characteristics of reading impairment in a L2 by comparing them with those in L1. Additionally, we proposed potential mechanisms driving these cross-linguistic differences and commonalities. Finally, we highlighted directions for future research to advance the neurocognitive understanding of L2 reading impairment.
