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

Many adolescents do not have the basic reading skills needed to successfully comprehend increasingly complex academic texts, and the COVID-19 pandemic has further disrupted reading achievement. These concerns motivate the present pilot study, which adapts the Glass-Analysis programme, a theoretically distinctive analytic phonics intervention, for online delivery by lay tutors. Fifth- and sixth-grade students (N = 34) with poor reading skills were alternately assigned to an intervention or waitlist control group. Intervention participants completed individualised sessions over 11-19 weeks. The Woodcock Reading Mastery Test (WRMT-III) and Test of Word Reading Efficiency (TOWRE-2) were used to measure changes in reading skills. Tutors reached high fidelity at the end of training; technological barriers were minimal, and tutor and participant retention was high. Moderate effect size differences between the intervention and waitlist control group were observed for measures of decoding and rapid automatised naming, but the study was designed with low statistical power and none of the observed group differences were significant. We conclude the Glass-Analysis programme holds promise as a scalable and accessible reading intervention for adolescent struggling readers and that future work to more definitively test its effectiveness is warranted.
