Effects of Phonomotor Treatment on discourse production.
Article in Aphasiology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
backgroundAphasia is an acquired language disorder that makes it difficult for people to produce and comprehend language, with every person with aphasia (PWA) demonstrating difficulty accessing and selecting words (anomia). While aphasia treatments typically focus on a single aspect of language, such as word retrieval, the ultimate goal of aphasia therapy is to improve communication, which is best seen at the level of discourse.
aimsThis retrospective study investigated the effects of one effective anomia therapy, Phonomotor Treatment, on discourse production. METHODS & PROCEDURES: Twenty-six PWA participated in 60 hours of Phonomotor Treatment, which focuses on building a person's ability to recognise, produce, and manipulate phonemes in progressively longer non-word and real-word contexts. Language samples were collected prior to, immediately after, and three months after the treatment program. Percent Correct Information Units (CIUs) and CIUs per minute were calculated. OUTCOMES &
resultsOverall, PWA showed significantly improved CIUs per minute, relative to baseline, immediately after treatment and three months later, as well as significantly improved percent CIUs, relative to baseline, three months following treatment.
conclusionsPhonomotor Treatment, which focuses on phonological processing, can lead to widespread improvement throughout the language system, including to the functionally critical level of discourse production.
