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

introductionThis study aimed to compare attitudes toward stuttering and cluttering among speech and language therapists (SLTs) and speech and language therapy students in China and how they differ from those in other countries. It also seeks to explore factors that may influence these attitude differences.

methodsWe utilized online versions of the Public Opinion Survey of Human Attributes-Stuttering (POSHA-S) and Public Opinion Survey of Human Attributes-Cluttering (POSHA-Cl) instruments to conduct surveys of 54 SLTs and 99 SLT students at 6 Chinese universities offering speech and language therapy programs.

resultsChinese SLTs had more positive attitudes than did SLT students. For example, rejecting learning and emotional trauma as a cause of stuttering or cluttering (a positive response) was more likely in SLTs than in SLT students. Both groups expressed more positivity about their knowledge sources than the average ratings from international samples.

conclusionIncreased positive exposure opportunities with stuttering or cluttering will likely positively impact on attitudes toward stuttering and cluttering in China. It is crucial for speech and language professionals in China to recognize the widespread misinformation in various sources and actively combat misconceptions about stuttering and cluttering.
