Early Sociocognitive Development Among Spanish-Speaking Participants: A Preliminary Study Using the Early Social Cognition Inventory (ESCI).
Article in Children (Basel, Switzerland), 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
backgroundThe early development of sociocognitive skills is linked to, and serves as a precursor for, the development of communication, language, and socialisation. Some of the most prevalent neurodevelopmental disorders, such as autism, are characterised by difficulties in communication and social interaction. Identifying delays in these skills could enable us to detect an earlier warning sign.
methodThe original version of the Early Social Cognition Inventory (ESCI), a 21-item parent-reported questionnaire, was translated and culturally and linguistically adapted for use in Spain.
participantsThe sample included 113 children from nursery schools and 19 children from an early intervention centre, aged between 18 and 60 months, from 10 early childhood centres in Valencia (Spain). Parents completed the ESCI and the Social Reactivity Scale, Preschool Second Edition (SRS-2 P). The children were assessed using additional tests, including the Early Sociocognitive Battery (ESB) and the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test III (PPVT).
resultsInternal consistency (α = 0.78,
conclusionsThe results of the ESCI pilot study indicate that it is a suitable tool for assessing early sociocognitive development in Spain, although further research with larger samples and longitudinal studies is required.
