Language Proficiency and Narrative Macrostructure in Spanish-English Bilingual Children.
Article in American journal of speech-language pathology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
purposeBilingual children of the same age may differ in narrative skills depending on their experiences in each language. This study examined the effects of Spanish and English language proficiency on the production of macrostructural elements in oral story retell tasks by Spanish-English bilingual children.
methodForty typically developing Spanish-English-speaking children, 5-7 years of age, participated in this study. For each language, five multiple regressions were conducted to estimate the effects of Spanish and English language proficiency on narrative macrostructure on five dependent variables: two global measures (total number of elements and number of complete episodes) and the three elements of a complete episode (initiating events, actions, and outcomes), based on Spanish and English oral narrative samples.
resultsIn Spanish, language proficiency accounted for the variability in all outcome measures except initiating events and actions. In English, proficiency accounted for the variability in all outcome measures except outcomes.
conclusionResults suggested that Spanish and English proficiency affects children's oral narrative skills, with differential effects across outcome measures in each language.
