The Effect of SPEAK OUT! and The LOUD Crowd on Dysarthria Due to Parkinson's Disease.
Article in American journal of speech-language pathology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 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
Purpose SPEAK OUT! and The LOUD Crowd is a standardized speech therapy program of 12 individual treatments combined with ongoing weekly group sessions for individuals with dysarthria due to Parkinson's disease (PD). The premise of this program is that individuals with PD must rely on goal-directed basal ganglia-cortical circuits to compensate for deficits in habitual, automatic control. The purpose of this study was to assess the outcome of this therapy program. Method Forty individuals with idiopathic PD received SPEAK OUT! in 12 individual 40-min sessions 3 times per week for 4 consecutive weeks and also participated in The LOUD Crowd. Assessments were conducted 3 times at baseline and then within 1 and 6 weeks after completion of the individual SPEAK OUT! sessions. Twenty-five adults without communication disorders were assessed on the same schedule. Acoustic outcome measures were mean intensity from reading and monologue, the prosody measures of standard deviation of intensity and frequency from reading and monologue, and the voice quality measure of cepstral peak prominence from reading. Patient perception of voice was also assessed with the Voice-Related Quality of Life. Results Posttherapy, mean intensity was greater and variation of frequency was larger in reading and monologue, while variation in intensity was larger in monologue but unchanged in reading. Cepstral peak prominence and Voice-Related Quality of Life scores were significantly higher (improved) after therapy. Conclusion These data contribute to evidence of the effectiveness of this program for hypokinetic dysarthria secondary to idiopathic PD and thus inform clinical practice in the selection among treatment options.
