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
purposeThis study aimed to evaluate central auditory processing skills in children with stuttering.
methodsTwenty children with stuttering (CWS) group (3 females, 17 males) and 20 Typical Development (TD) group children (7 females, 13 males) with normal pure-tone hearing were given the Frequency Pattern Test (FPT) and Duration Pattern Test (DPT), Filtre Words (FW), Auditory Figure-Ground (AFG), Competing Words (CW) and Competing Sentences (CS) tests used in Central Auditory Processing (CAP).
resultsNo significant difference was found in either group's FW, AFG, and CS tests. However, there was a significant difference between the scores obtained from the FPT, DPT, and CW tests. FPT and DPT results revealed a significant difference between the frequency and duration pattern scores of children in the CWS and TD groups (p < 0.001). Statistical comparisons of right-left ear difference scores between the CWS and TD groups were conducted for the SCAN-C subtest for DW, with significant differences (p < 0.01). Children with stuttering scored lower on these tests compared to typical development.
conclusionThe observed pattern of results characterized by deficits in FPT, DPT, and dichotic auditory tasks aligns with theoretical models that implicate interhemispheric transfer in stuttering. Based on our behavioral data, we propose a hypothesis: the core difficulty may not lie in right-to-left hemisphere transfer, but in the longer loop of left-to-right and back again, potentially introducing critical timing delays in sound processing. It is recommended that interhemispheric training be implemented as part of stuttering interventions.plemented as part of stuttering int.
