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

Hispanic children face significant problem-solving challenges due to the simultaneous linguistic and cognitive demands of mathematics. This study examined the effectiveness of comprehension strategy instruction (CSI) for Hispanic children and investigated working memory as a potential moderator of intervention effectiveness. Participants included 43 third-grade Hispanic children with mathematical learning difficulties and 32 control peers from an urban public school system in the southwestern United States. Using hierarchical linear modeling, results demonstrated significant effects of CSI on mathematical performance, with medium effect sizes across multiple assessments. An interaction model revealed that both CSI and working memory were significant predictors of mathematical achievement, with a marginally significant two-way interaction implying that students' cognitive profiles moderated the impact of the intervention. Findings highlight the importance of integrating CSI into mathematics instruction for Hispanic students to support both linguistic and cognitive development.
