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

Background: Compensatory errors are a conventional part of an articulation disorder identified by speech pathologists in patients with Cleft palate (CP). This study aimed to evaluate the effect of new mixed articulation therapy on the perceptual and acoustic features of these errors. Methods: The single-case experimental design, ABA design, was used in this study. Five CP young children ages 3.9 to 5.4 months, received online multimodal articulation therapy for 5 weeks, 6 sessions per week, utilizing both standard and maximum opposition approaches. Patients underwent baseline and follow-up sessions before and after treatment for 3 weeks-1 session per week. The percentage of compensatory errors was calculated as a perceptual measure, and 2 acoustic measures-including the slope of the locus equation (LE slope) and the overall F2 Transition Frequency Extent (TFE)-were analyzed. Results: Compensatory errors were eliminated in all 5 participants with the mixed articulation therapy (Percentage of nonoverlapping data [PND] ≥80%, percentage of Improvement Rate Difference [IRD] ≥73.33%), and this therapy effect was maintained for up to 3 weeks of follow-up. The acoustic measures showed a difference in the F2 changes during CV transition in compensatory error before and after therapy. Conclusion: This study supports the hypothesis that online mixed articulation therapy in children with CP can eliminate compensatory errors. The results of this study can also help extend the knowledge about F2 changes during CV transition in compensatory error before and after speech therapy to create objective and visual diagnostic documentation for patients with CP and prediction of some coarticulation models.
