Understanding Language through TalkBank.
Article in Current directions in psychological science, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Advances in computer technology have produced a flood of new data sets for understanding human language. However, nearly all these new datasets are based on written, rather than spoken, language. This means that, despite their importance, open-access data on naturally occurring spoken language conversations are much more difficult to obtain. The major exception to this is the TalkBank system, which provides online multimedia data for 15 types of spoken language data: language in aphasia, child language, stuttering, child phonology, autism spectrum disorder (ASD), bilingualism, Conversation Analysis, classroom discourse, dementia, psychosis, right hemisphere damage (RHD), Danish conversation, second language learning, traumatic brain injury (TBI), and day-long recordings in the home. This article reviews these resources and describes the ways that they are being used to further our understanding of language learning and usage.
