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.

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.

Abstract

backgroundResidual speech sound disorder (RSSD) is a high-prevalence condition that negatively impacts social and academic participation. Telepractice service delivery has the potential to expand access to technology-enhanced intervention methods that can help remediate RSSD, but it is not known whether remote service delivery is associated with a reduction in the efficacy of these methods. This project will systematically measure the outcomes of visual-acoustic biofeedback intervention when delivered in-person or online. METHODS/

designThis project, Visual-acoustic Intervention with Service delivery In-person and via Telepractice (VISIT), aims to treat 76 children in a parallel randomized controlled clinical trial in which children with RSSD will receive visual-acoustic biofeedback treatment either in person or via telepractice. Eligible children will be speakers of American English aged 9-17 years who exhibit RSSD affecting /ɹ/ but otherwise show cognitive-linguistic and hearing abilities within the typical range. All participants will receive twenty sessions of visual-acoustic biofeedback; they will be randomized, with stratification by pre-treatment speech production ability and site, to complete their treatment sessions either in the laboratory setting or at home via telepractice. For the primary outcome measure, blinded listeners will evaluate changes in the perceived accuracy of /ɹ/ production after the end of treatment. DISCUSSION: By comparing outcomes in children randomized to receive a standard course of biofeedback treatment either via telepractice or in-person, this study will provide evidence-based guidance for clinicians seeking flexible service delivery options for a challenging and prevalent condition.
