1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Purpose While orthographic transcription (OT) is the gold standard for measures of intelligibility, it is relatively inaccessible to clinicians. This study investigates the relationship between visual analog scale (VAS) ratings and OT measures of intelligibility for speakers with Parkinson's disease (PD), with the eventual goal of developing more clinically feasible assessments of intelligibility. Method Twenty speakers with PD and 5 controls read 11 sentences. First, 33 listeners completed an OT task using 1 sentence from each speaker. An additional 33 listeners rated the intelligibility of 1 sentence from each speaker using a VAS, reflecting a minimized exposure VAS (MEV) task. Lastly, 14 additional listeners each rated the intelligibility of all 11 sentences produced by all speakers using a VAS, reflecting an extended exposure VAS (EEV) task. Smaller listener groups were simulated from each VAS task for comparison to scores from the OT task. Results There was a strong relationship between OT and both MEV and EEV. This relationship remained strong (R
