Concurrent and longitudinal associations between the Home Literacy Environment and the language skills of children with Down syndrome.

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
Introduction: Substantial research demonstrates a positive association between the Home Literacy Environment (HLE) and vocabulary growth in typically developing (TD) children (Lovčević, 2025). Though few studies have explored this in children with Down syndrome (DS), limited evidence suggests that an enriched HLE also promotes receptive vocabulary growth in this population (Dulin et al., 2023). However, the extent to which the HLE influences expressive vocabulary development within this population remains unclear (Dulin et al., 2023). Research questions: (1) How do parent(s) of children with DS describe their HLEs, in terms of richness and (2) child engagement during shared book reading (SBR) interactions? Do these measures of the HLE (richness and child engagement) correlate with child language scores (3) concurrently and (4) longitudinally? Method: Participants were parents and children with Down syndrome (DS) aged 2 years 11 months - 6 years 10 months at the start of the study. Parent(s) completed a Results/discussion: Descriptive statistics revealed variability in the richness of HLEs (
