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

objectivesTo report the development and administration of the Saudi pediatric speech intelligibility (SPSI) test.

methodsThis study was carried out at King Abdullah Ear Specialist Center, King Saud University, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, between 2021 and 2023. A pilot study was carried out in 5 regions of Saudi Arabia including 100 normal hearing children aged 7-11 years old, with 20 children from each region. The final test materials were voice-recorded by a native Saudi radio announcer, and a software-based application for administering the SPSI was developed.

resultsDuring the pilot study, minor adjustments were carried out to the test for more clarity. The developed SPSI software is an android-based application that includes features like automatic result calculation, data saving, and individual user accounts for examiners to review results. The SPSI test comprises 4-word cards and 2 sentence cards, each with 5 pictures, and operates in 3 modes: quiet, background noise, and competing sentences.

conclusionThe SPSI test has been developed in an android-based software using the Saudi local dialects. It can facilitate comprehensive and accurate assessment of speech intelligibility, particularly in children with hearing impairments.
