How much therapy is enough? The impossible question!
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 3 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
There is sufficient evidence in the literature related to speech-language pathology, physiotherapy, occupational therapy, and psychology to indicate that intensive therapy is required in order to influence the neurophysiological basis of various impairments. Conversely, the influence of therapy on reducing communication restriction, psychosocial impact, and well-being is less well documented in speech-language pathology, but research in related areas indicates that the amount of therapy required to have a positive influence on these areas is associated with a broad range of individual and social factors. Intensive therapy takes considerable commitment on the part of the therapist, patient, and family members, and is not always achievable or acceptable. Therapists can incorporate a broad range of approaches to increase the amount of therapy available to individuals which may include expanding self-management, computerized therapy, use of the family members and volunteers, and improving skill mix. Most importantly it is essential to consider the objectives of the therapy when determining the intensity.
