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

This study investigated the temporal processing deficit hypothesis in Chinese children with developmental dyslexia. Thirty-two children with dyslexia and 34 typically developing children (grades 2 and 3) completed nonverbal and verbal auditory temporal order judgement (ATOJ) tasks. Structural equation modelling was used to examine whether phonological awareness and rapid automatised naming (RAN) mediated the relationship between auditory temporal processing and reading abilities. Children with dyslexia showed significantly poorer ATOJ performance under both conditions. ATOJ accuracy influenced reading abilities through phonological awareness, while ATOJ reaction time exerted its effect via RAN. These findings elucidate the mechanisms linking auditory temporal processing to reading in Chinese dyslexia, supporting the generalisation of the temporal processing deficit hypothesis to logographic writing systems. The results have implications for early identification and intervention of reading difficulties in Chinese children.
