The Effectiveness of Cognitive-Behavioral Play Therapy and Cognitive Rehabilitation on Executive Functions in Students With Dyslexia.
Article in Journal of autism and developmental disorders, 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
purposeMany children with dyslexia achieve poor academic and career outcomes. They have problems with phonological processing, attention, and executive functions. Accordingly, this study aimed to compare the effectiveness of cognitive behavioral play therapy and cognitive rehabilitation on executive functions in students with dyslexia.
methodThe present study was a quasi-experimental study with a pre-test and post-test design and a one-month follow-up. The statistical population included 8- to 12-year-old male and female students with dyslexia who referred to learning disorder centers in Babol city. First, 54 students were selected based on the inclusion criteria and convenience sampling method and then randomly assigned to three cognitive behavioral play therapy groups, cognitive rehabilitation group, and control group (18 people). The Brief Executive Function Behavioral Rating Questionnaire was used to collect data. A repeated-measures analysis of variance was used to analyze the data.
resultsThe findings showed that the post-test scores of executive functions of the intervention groups decreased; and these effects were maintained at follow-up (p < .001). Therefore, both interventions effectively improved executive functions. However, no significant difference was observed between the two intervention groups (p > .05).
conclusionCognitive behavioral play therapy and cognitive rehabilitation can be used as an effective and accessible therapeutic approach in treating students with dyslexia to improve executive functions.
