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

The Radner Reading Charts for measuring reading performance are available in 11 European languages plus Turkish. There is a need to develop a Malay version, as Malay is spoken by 240 million speakers in Southeast Asia. The study's purpose is to create and validate Malay sentence optotypes comparable in number and length of words, difficulty, and syntactical structure, for constructing the Malay version of the Radner Reading Charts. Forty Malay sentences were constructed following the methods used for the German Radner Reading Charts. We measured reading time (rt), reading speed (rs), and reading errors for 120 participants (mean age = 22.09 ± 1.28 years). Sentences were statistically standardized by selecting those within rt
