| Outcome | Sample size | Effect size (95% CI) | Quality | Interpretation of effecta |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Receptive language score at 3 years of age (Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test) | 52 | MD 9.97 (1.58 to 18.36) | Very Low | Effect favours intervention group, but it may be less than the MID |
| Association between being in the intervention group and receptive language score at 3 years of age (Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test) | 52 | β 9.39 (0.82 to 17.96) | Very low | Intervention was associated with a more favourable outcome |
No meaningful difference: crosses line of no effect but not line of MID; Could not differentiate: crosses line of no effect and line of MID; May favour: confidence intervals do not cross line of no effect but cross MID; Favours: confidence intervals do not cross line of no effect or MID
