Challenges inherent in optimizing speech-language pathology outcomes: it's not just about counting the hours.
Article in International journal of speech-language pathology, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Determining the optimal amount of intervention is possibly the biggest challenge facing speech-language pathologists (SLPs) today. Baker (2012) has provided an erudite and pithy summary of the relevant literature in the field of optimizing intervention outcomes, and proposed a conceptual framework to measure all the inputs and acts that may contribute to the algorithm of intervention intensity. In the following article, two issues are discussed: first, that the use of technological advances to increase intensity should focus on everyday communication outcomes and, secondly, that measuring the effects of treatments which aim to increase intensity should include the perceptions of the client. Describing the evidence-based kernels underlying treatment success is a complex endeavour, particularly when the target treatment outcome is improved conversation. A recent qualitative study is described where clients with brain injury and their families were asked about their perceptions of a communication partner training program, to help determine which part of the treatment worked and why. It is argued that such an approach may provide important information regarding the "active ingredients" of treatment success.
