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

purposeto map and synthesise scientific evidence on the relationship between bullying and stuttering in schoolchildren. The following specific aims will be investigated: (1) the impact of the co-occurrence of both; (2) strategies for identifying bullying in children who stutter; and (3) approaches to tackling bullying in this population. RESEARCH STRATEGIES: Scoping Review was conducted following the Joanna Briggs Institute methodology. The PubMed, Scielo, CAPES, and Web of Science databases were consulted using specific descriptors. SELECTION CRITERIA: Full-text articles in English or Portuguese were included, with no time limit. Opinion articles, letters to the editor, and studies that did not meet the objective of the study were excluded. DATA ANALYSIS: The data extracted included author, title, objectives, methodology, results, and conclusions, culminating in a PRISMA-ScR flowchart for organising the findings.

resultsThe studies analysed point to a higher prevalence of bullying, anxiety and low self-esteem among children and adolescents who stutter, especially in the school environment. Weakened social relationships and lack of awareness increase the risk of exclusion. Speech therapists play an essential role in guidance and prevention, although there is still a need for more robust research on effective interventions.

conclusionThis study confirmed the relationship between stuttering and the experience of bullying, highlighting the impacts on the mental health and socialisation of people who stutter. In addition, although scarce, the main intervention strategies identified to date were gathered, such as educational programmes and prevention activities, still in the school environment and in conjunction with the academic staff and family members.
