Oral language profiles and associated factors in children after neonatal arterial ischaemic stroke.

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
aimTo characterize language outcomes at age 7 years after neonatal arterial ischaemic stroke (NAIS) and identify language profiles and determinants.
methodThis prospective longitudinal cohort study included 70 children (44 males) from a French cohort with NAIS. Oral language (phonology, lexicon, syntax) was assessed using a validated French battery. Data on demographics, environment, lesion, epilepsy, motor status, cognition, schooling, and therapy were collected. A data-driven classification, based on principal component analysis, followed by hierarchical clustering with k-means consolidation, was used to identify the language profiles. Performances were compared to norms and factors were tested using multiple linear regression models.
resultsFour language profiles emerged after excluding three outliers: preserved language (n = 32), very low phono-syntax (n = 7), very low receptive (n = 11), and borderline language (n = 17). A majority of children (56%) showed below-age language abilities. Epilepsy, bilingualism, a family history of language or learning disorders, and lower full-scale IQ were associated with poorer outcomes. Children with more severe impairments more often required school support (n = 18) or specialized education (n = 7). Access to speech and language therapy was mainly driven by the nature of difficulties, especially phonology and syntax, than by their severity.
interpretationNAIS leads to frequent and heterogeneous language difficulties at school age, which are influenced by biological, cognitive, and environmental factors. Systematic and complete language assessments are crucial in preschool to ensure early detection, even of subtle deficits, and equitable access to intervention.
