Promoting Augmentative and Alternative Communication-Induced Language Recovery in Chronic Aphasia (PAIL-RcA): Theoretical Construct, Method, Protocol, and Treatment Resources.
Article in American journal of speech-language pathology, 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 purpose of this tutorial is to provide a how-to so that clinicians can successfully implement augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) as a dual-purpose tool, one that successfully and simultaneously compensates for communication breakdowns and facilitates language recovery. Moreover, readers will understand two key principles of neuroplasticity as they apply to AAC implementation for people with aphasia (PWA), as well as the theory of intersystemic reorganization, by way of a novel treatment, Promoting AAC-Induced Language-Recovery in Chronic Aphasia (PAIL-RcA). METHOD AND PROCEDURE: Readers are provided a step-by-step overview of PAIL-RcA, as well as data sheets, cueing hierarchy, a family handout and prompt guides detailing how to successfully implement PAIL-RcA.
conclusionsPAIL-RcA is a novel AAC treatment for PWA that is theoretically driven, manualized, and proven feasible with freely available resources for clinical implementation. Although PAIL-RcA was developed for storytelling and is highlighted for use on an iPad, we encourage adaptation for implementation across a variety of AAC systems and communication purposes.
