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

Mazurek et al. (2019) put forth an Expressive Language (EL) score based on the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule, Second Edition Module administered and Item A1, establishing convergent validity with expressive language assessments for autism. The current study examines EL score relationships with transcribed language samples-including sensitivity to change-across 6- to 23-year-old individuals in three diagnostic groups: autism, Down syndrome, and Fragile X syndrome. Results demonstrate convergent validity of EL score with language complexity and lexical diversity, and variable patterns of divergence with talkativeness and nonverbal participation. In contrast to mean length of utterance in morphemes, EL score was not sensitive to 1-year change. These findings support the usefulness of EL score for quickly describing expressive language, but caution against its use as a clinical outcome or measure of change.
