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

purposeDyslexia is a specific learning disorder that affects reading and is associated with emotional and behavioral problems. Previous research indicates that children with dyslexia are at greater risk of developing anxiety, depression, and difficulties in executive functions, which affect their academic performance and well being.

methodsThis study explored and compared behavioral, emotional, and executive functioning profiles in children with dyslexia and in neurotypical children in a sample of 120 children aged 8 to 10, divided into a dyslexia group and a control group. The BASC-3, SENA, and ENFEN were used for assessments, and data were analyzed using t-tests, Levene's test, and mediation analyses.

resultsChildren with dyslexia showed significantly higher levels of aggressiveness, anxiety, depression, and attention problems. In addition, they exhibited difficulties in executive functions such as resistance to interference and verbal fluency, highlighting the impact of dyslexia in these areas.

conclusionMediation analyses suggest that dyslexia is a potential indicator of difficulties in executive functioning and behavior, as well as influencing internalized and externalized emotional problems. These findings underscore the need to implement comprehensive educational and therapeutic strategies to address the needs of this vulnerable population.
