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

Mind wandering (MW), working memory (WM), and decoding are all known to influence reading comprehension (RC), but there is little information on how these factors interact with one another. Also, most MW literature focuses on adults and thus generalization to children is still needed. To address these gaps, we studied these factors in 212 Hispanic middle with a Spanish language background who were at-risk for achievement difficulties. All three predictors demonstrated a significant relationship with RC, although MW relations to RC were contingent on the type of MW measure utilized. The only significant interaction was of MW and decoding for RC, such that MW and RC were negatively related for individuals with superior to very superior decoding skills, but positively related for those with very low to low decoding skills. These results clarify the interactive relationships of these three key predictors on the important academic achievement outcome of RC.
