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 The objectives of this study were to: (a) compare interrater reliability of practicing speech-language pathologists' (SLPs) perceptual judgments of phonetic accuracy and hypernasality between children with dysarthria and those with typical development, and (b) to identify speech factors that influence reliability of these perceptual judgments for children with dysarthria. Method Ten SLPs provided ratings of speech samples from twenty 5-year-old children with dysarthria and twenty 5-year-old children with typical development on two tasks via a web-based platform: a hypernasality judgment task and a phonetic accuracy judgment task. Interrater reliability of SLPs' ratings on both tasks was compared between children with dysarthria and children with typical development. For children with dysarthria, four acoustic speech measures, intelligibility, and a measure of phonetic accuracy (percent stops correct) were examined as predictors of reliability of SLPs' perceptual judgments. Results Reliability of SLPs' phonetic accuracy judgments and hypernasality ratings was significantly lower for children with dysarthria than for children with typical development. Among children with dysarthria, interrater reliability of perceptual judgments ranged from strong to weak. Percent stops correct was the strongest predictor of interrater reliability for both phonetic accuracy judgments and hypernasality ratings. Conclusions Reliability of perceptual phonetic accuracy judgments and hypernasality ratings among practicing SLPs for children with dysarthria is reduced compared to ratings for children with typical development. Findings underscore the need for more reliable methods to assess phonetic accuracy and hypernasality for children with dysarthria.
