Bilingual Children's Grammatical Productivity From Spontaneous Language Samples in English and Spanish.
Article in Language, speech, and hearing services in schools, 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
purposeMuch work has been done to characterize the grammatical productivity of English-speaking monolingual children and the English skills of bilingual children. However, less work has been done to characterize productivity of bilingual children in other languages. This study investigates the clinical utility of a Spanish grammatical productivity measure to address the need for linguistically responsive measures in bilingual language assessment.
methodSpontaneous language samples were collected for 23 typically developing (TD) preschoolers and nine preschoolers with developmental language disorder (DLD). In Spanish, children's productive use of definite articles, indefinite articles, and direct object clitics was calculated to derive group averages. In English, children's productive use of tense and agreement morphemes was examined.
resultsIn Spanish and in English, TD children demonstrated higher productivity than children with DLD.
conclusionIn addition to English productivity, children's Spanish grammatical productivity is a promising clinical tool to be used in the assessment of Spanish-English bilingual children.
