Beyond reading and spelling: exploring intelligence profiles in individuals with dyslexia through a Cattell-Horn-Carroll theory lens.
Article in Health psychology report, 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
backgroundDyslexia, a prevalent learning disability, is associated with specific cognitive profiles. This study investigated the cognitive profiles of children and adolescents with dyslexia in Poland utilizing the Cattell-Horn-Carroll (CHC) theory to understand patterns of strengths and weaknesses. PARTICIPANTS AND PROCEDURE: The study analyzed intelligence assessment data from 3,458 Polish children and adolescents (age 10-19 years) diagnosed with dyslexia. Data were obtained from a national research panel. Participants underwent comprehensive intelligence assessments using the Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scales, Fifth Edition (SB5). One-sample
resultsParticipants with dyslexia scored significantly lower than the population average across all 18 SB5 measures (subtests and IQ indices), with effect sizes ranging from small to large. The largest deficits were observed in verbal abilities (knowledge and visual-spatial processing) and specific IQ indices including verbal IQ, general IQ, knowledge IQ, visual-spatial processing IQ, and working memory IQ.
conclusionsThe findings support the applicability of the CHC theory in understanding the cognitive profiles of individuals with dyslexia. The study highlights specific cognitive weaknesses in crystallized intelligence, visual-spatial processing, and working memory. These results challenge the reliance on the pattern of strengths and weaknesses (PSW) model as a primary diagnostic tool and underscore the importance of comprehensive cognitive assessments for individuals with dyslexia. These findings have implications for targeted interventions and a balanced approach to dyslexia diagnosis.
