The Use of Automated Digital Data in Speech, Language, and Hearing Research: Confronting a New Ethical Landscape.
Article in Journal of speech, language, and hearing research : JSLHR, 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 use of automated, digital data collection, such as daylong audio recordings of children's language environments, is yielding important insights for both researchers and practitioners in the field of communication disorders. However, ethical issues involved in the use of digital tools for research purposes have yet to be thoroughly explored.
methodIn this commentary, we draw on our experience with automated data collection in inclusive auditory oral preschool classrooms, as well as interviews with parents, teachers, speech-language pathologists, researchers, and other community members, to identify key areas of ethical concern and draw out implications for future research.
conclusionWe discuss specific issues and recommendations related to three emerging areas of concern: data storage and data sharing, the return of results to research participants, and the communication of incidental findings.
