Socioeconomic Status and Fine-Grained Literacy Outcomes in Heritage Bilingual and Monolingual Children With and Without Specific Learning Disorders.

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
This study investigated the sociolinguistic background and the cognitive and literacy profiles of heritage bilingual (HB) children with specific learning disorders (SLD) in reading and spelling or typical development (TD) in comparison with their monolingual peers. About 454 primary school children were included and divided into four groups: HBs with SLD (n = 108) or TD (n = 70), and monolinguals with SLD (n = 106) or TD (n = 170). Children completed tasks assessing nonverbal IQ, working memory, processing speed, nonword repetition, listening comprehension, and literacy skills, including word, nonword, and text reading and spelling, and reading comprehension. Parents provided information on language history and socioeconomic status (SES). Results showed comparable sociolinguistic profiles across groups, with greater heritage language maintenance in the HB-TD group. SES primarily predicted performance on tasks with higher lexical demands and nonverbal IQ. Once SES was considered, language background only influenced spelling tasks. Interaction effects indicated a stronger influence of SES in HBs. At the phenotypic level, HBs and monolingual children with SLD showed comparable profiles, with an SLD-specific disadvantage for HBs emerging only in nonword spelling. These findings underscore the importance of SES in assessing HB children and promoting the home language in clinical populations.
