The effect of vacation on reading fluency development.
Observational study in CoDAS, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
purposeTo evaluate the effect of vacations on the reading fluency of elementary school students.
methodsThis analytical, longitudinal, observational study included 98 students from 2nd to 5th grades, who read texts appropriate for their school year before and after vacations between 2022 and 2024. The performance of the same students in both periods and the progression of reading speed between grades throughout the year were compared. The paired t-test was used to assess reading performance at different time points, the t-test to analyze progression, and Cohen's d test to calculate the effect size.
resultsThe findings show an improvement in reading speed measures between the beginning and end of the school year. However, they also point to a statistically significant difference between before and after extended vacations, indicating a decline in post-vacation performance - except for students going from 2nd to 3rd grade, whose reading practice remained constant. The findings reinforce the importance of pedagogical strategies to encourage continued reading during vacation.
conclusionThis study highlighted the negative impact of the vacation effect on reading fluency performance among 3rd-, 4th-, and 5th-grade students, whose reading fluency declined after the extended school vacation.
