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

Speech-based indices are promising objective biomarkers for identifying schizophrenia and monitoring symptom burden. Static acoustic features show potential but often overlook time-varying acoustic cues that clinicians naturally evaluate-such as negative symptoms-during clinical interviews. A similar dynamic, unfiltered approach can be applied using speech spectrograms, preserving acoustic-temporal nuances. Here, we investigate if this method has the potential to assist in the determination of diagnostic and symptom severity status. Speech recordings from 319 participants (227 with schizophrenia spectrum disorders, 92 healthy controls) were segmented into 10 s fragments of uninterrupted audio (
