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

Despite widespread use, the effectiveness of specialized fonts like Dyslexie in improving reading outcomes for individuals with dyslexia remains contentious. This study evaluated the impact of Dyslexie and other font types on adult reading accuracy, efficiency, and social acceptability. Results indicated no significant differences in reading accuracy or efficiency across font types, although participants reported varying levels of satisfaction and preference. The study highlights the importance of considering font type in reading interventions for adults with dyslexia, suggesting that font choice may influence user experience beyond traditional reading metrics. • Offers insights into the impact of font types on reading outcomes, aiding clinicians in selecting appropriate interventions for individuals with dyslexia. • Highlights the potential role of user satisfaction and preference in font selection, emphasizing the importance of personalized interventions. • Raises awareness of the limitations of specialized fonts like Dyslexie, prompting clinicians to critically evaluate their efficacy in practice. • Encourages future research to explore alternative interventions aligned with empirical evidence, such as phonological awareness training, to improve reading outcomes for individuals with dyslexia.
