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

Speech foundation models are remarkably successful in various consumer applications, prompting their extension to clinical use-cases. This is challenged by small clinical datasets, which precludes effective fine-tuning. We tested the efficacy of two models to classify participants by segmental (Wav2Vec2.0) and suprasegmental (Trillsson) speech analysis windows. Analysis at both time scales has shown differences in the context of cognitive decline. Speakers were classified as healthy controls (HC), Amyloid-β+ (Aβ+), mild cognitive impairment (MCI), or dementia. A subset of W2V2 and Trillsson representations showed large effect size between HC and each risk factor. Cross-validation showed W2V2 consistently outperforms Trillsson. Mean macro-F1 of 54.1%, 63.5%, and 72.0% in were found for classifying Aβ+, MCI, and dementia from HC. Repeatability of Trillsson and W2V2 showed intraclass correlations of 0.30 and 0.41. Reliability of such models must be enhanced for clinical speech analysis and longitudinal tracking.
