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

In the bilingual educational context of Morocco, where Arabic and French coexist, the assessment of developmental dyslexia poses specific methodological challenges. This exploratory study aims to document the current practices of Moroccan speech-language pathologists in the diagnosis and screening of reading disorders. A questionnaire was distributed to 45 practitioners across various regions of the country. Data analysis highlights a predominant reliance on standardized French-language tests combined with clinician-designed protocols. The near-total absence of standardized tools in Arabic is identified as a major limitation, hindering equitable diagnostic practices for Arabic-speaking children. These findings form part of a broader research initiative leading to the development of ARADYS, a culturally grounded Arabic dyslexia assessment battery tailored to the Moroccan context.Keywords: dyslexia, assessment, speech-language pathology, bilingualism, Morocco, Arabic, ARADYS, exploratory study.
