Predicting the impact of stuttering in the school years.

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
Purpose: The goal of the current study was to identify factors contributing to the overall impact of stuttering, as measured by the Overall Assessment of the Speaker's Experience of Stuttering (OASES) in older children who stutter. Prior research suggests temperament and emotional functioning may influence stuttering impact, whereas findings regarding overt stuttering severity have been inconsistent. Method: Participants were 306 children who stutter (241 boys, 65 girls), aged 9;0-14;11 years old, referred to a specialist center for stuttering. Measures included the Early Adolescent Temperament Questionnaire-Revised (EATQ-R), Stuttering Severity Instrument-4 (SSI-4), Revised Children's Anxiety and Depression Scale (RCADS), and Overall Assessment of the Speaker's Experience of Stuttering (OASES). A multiple linear regression was conducted with OASES total score as the outcome and predictors including: SSI-4 total score, temperament dimensions (Surgency, Negative Affect, and Effortful Control), RCADS total score, age, and sex. Results: Higher Surgency predicted lower stuttering impact, whereas higher Negative Affect, greater anxiety and depression symptoms, older age, and higher overt stuttering severity predicted greater impact. Effortful Control and sex were not significant predictors. Temperament and internalizing symptoms contributed independently to stuttering impact, beyond overt severity. Predictors operated largely independently within the multivariate model, with no evidence of strong interaction effects. Conclusion: These findings add to the understanding of the factors that contribute to the impact that stuttering has on 9-14 year olds. The results indicate that the impact that stuttering has on a child can be predicted to some degree by their temperament, level of anxiety and depression, age and overt stuttering, but not sex. Future research is needed to identify/include other factors that may strengthen this predictive model, better understand how and why some children are more negatively impacted than others, and to inform clinical practice.
