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

purposeThis study determined the minimal detectable change (MDC) scores for experienced and novice listeners' ratings of overall severity of voice quality for speakers with adductor laryngeal dystonia (ADLD) and typical controls. We also determined MDCs as a function of speaker severity and listener experience.

methodTen experienced listeners (ELs) and 12 novice listeners (NLs) rated overall severity of voice quality in 39 speakers with ADLD and 10 controls using a 100-mm visual analog scale across two rating sessions. MDCs at the 95% confidence level (MDC

resultsThe MDC

conclusionResults have implications for measuring and interpreting auditory-perceptual outcomes for speakers with ADLD with different voice quality severities when they are evaluated by ELs and NLs in clinical and research contexts.
