Intelligibility in Context Scale: validity of the Brazilian-Portuguese version.
Article in CoDAS, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
purposeThe aim of the study was to validate the Brazilian-Portuguese version of the Intelligibility in Context Scale (ICS-BP).
methodsSixty children (mean age in months = 55.05, SD = 4.2), 15 with parental or teacher concerns regarding their speech and 45 without concerns, underwent assessment using the phonology subtest of ABFW - Child Language Test. The percentage of consonants correct (PCC) was calculated and parents completed the ICS to evaluate their children's intelligibility with various communication partners. Descriptive statistics were obtained. Kruskal-Wallis and Spearman' tests were used for independent group comparisons and correlation calculations, respectively. Linear regression models were established to predict PCC. Internal consistency was calculated using Cronbach's alpha. A Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) was used to analyse sensitivity and specificity. Significance was considered for p-values under 0.05.
resultsThe majority of parents reported a mean score of 4.6 in a total of 5 (SD .10) at the ICS responses with different listeners, with better performance with other acquaintances and members of the family. The ICS demonstrated excellent internal consistency (α = 0.95). Positive correlations were found between ICS scores and PCC (r = .790) and a simple linear model was established between the ICS mean score and PCC. Sensitivity (0.98) and specificity (0.87) were considered high.
conclusionThe ICS-BP indicated high psychometric values, suggesting that this instrument can be used to measure the intelligibility of Brazilian children.
