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

Building on prior work, this study examined cognitive profiles of children with reading disabilities (RD), attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and their comorbidity (ADHD + RD) compared to typically developing (TD) peers. Participants included 151 Grade 1-3 students, where there were 31 students with RD, 43 with ADHD, 27 with ADHD + RD, and 50 TD in China. Children were assessed in four cognitive domains: attention, inhibition, working memory, and rapid automatized naming (RAN), with age statistically controlled. Significant group differences emerged in each domain. The TD group consistently outperformed all groups. The comorbid ADHD + RD group showed pronounced deficits in attention, inhibition, and RAN. One-way ANCOVAs and multivariate analyses indicated that both RD and ADHD groups showed weaknesses in attention and RAN, with RD group weaker in working memory and ADHD group in inhibition. A 2 × 2 factorial ANCOVA confirmed significant main effects of RD and/or ADHD across domains, with no significant interaction effects, supporting an additive model. Findings highlight distinct and overlapping cognitive challenges associated with RD and ADHD and underscore the need for domain-specific intervention planning.
