Language Access is a Catalyst for Early Numerical Abilities.
Article in Developmental science, 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
Recent research has found that the cumulative amount of time a child has had auditory access to language accounts for differences in early numerical abilities between oral Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing (DHH) and hearing preschoolers. We replicate and extend these findings by exploring the role of language ability and salience of numerical information with a larger sample (N = 89; 43 female; majority White) of 3- 6-year-old oral DHH and hearing children. We captured number knowledge, numerical discrimination, salience of numerical information, and parent-reports of vocabulary and language experience. Oral DHH children underperformed on the numerical tasks and vocabulary, however, disparities in numerical measures disappeared when controlling for differences in language experience. The salience of numerical information was similar for both groups.
