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

purposeBoys with fragile X syndrome (FXS) have relative weakness in morphosyntax, specifically finiteness markers. However, most research has focused on grammatical production as compared to receptive grammatical judgment. Thus, the current study examined both grammatical production and judgment through pattern analysis and individual differences.

methodThirty-three boys with FXS aged 9-18 years completed the third-person singular,

resultsGrammatical production and grammatical judgment performance showed variability across participants, with mean scores below ceiling in both domains. Comparison of production and judgment revealed substantial heterogeneity. Specifically, over half of the participants demonstrated discrepant performance between the grammatical production and judgment domains, whereas the remaining participants showed consistent performance across both domains. Differences in grammatical profiles were not explained by chronological age or nonverbal cognitive ability.

conclusionsFindings revealed persistent difficulties in the grammatical production and judgment of finiteness marking (particularly
