Reliability Analysis of the Arabic Speech Matrix Test.
Article in Laryngoscope investigative otolaryngology, 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
Objective: Speech matrix tests offer information about a person's capacity to comprehend speech in noisy environments, which is an essential component of everyday communication, in contrast to pure tone audiometry, which primarily assesses hearing sensitivity. This study aimed to assess the test-retest reliability of the Arabic Speech Matrix test. Methods: This is a prospective cohort study that included three groups: normal hearing individuals, cochlear implant users, and those using hearing aids. Seventy-five participants were included in the study. The test was administered in two different settings with noise presented from various angles. The test was re-administered to participants after a 7-14 days interval, and Intra-class Correlation Coefficient (ICC) and Bland-Altman plots were used to evaluate reliability. Results: Moderate to excellent reliability was demonstrated, with higher consistency observed among hearing-impaired groups using cochlear implants and other devices. Minor learning effects were noted in the normal hearing group, with better reliability observed in the left setting. Conclusion: The Arabic Speech Matrix test demonstrated strong test-retest reliability overall, indicating that it can be successfully incorporated into regular clinical audiological evaluations. Level of Evidence: 4.
