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

purposeThe goal of the present study was to quantify the relationship between Intelligibility in Context Scale (ICS) scores and transcription intelligibility scores of typically developing English-speaking children when the confounding effects of age were controlled.

methodFive hundred forty-five typically developing children aged 2;6 to 9;11 (years;months) participated in the study. Parents of each child participant completed the ICS. Naïve listeners orthographically transcribed speech samples from child participants. To control the effect of age, we computed Spearman correlation values between the transcription intelligibility scores and ICS scores stratified by age bands. To estimate the relationship between the transcription intelligibility score and ICS scores across age while controlling the effect of age, we averaged Spearman correlation values across age bands.

resultsSpearman correlations between ICS scores (as composite scores or as individual ICS item scores) and transcription intelligibility scores were generally negligible to low, indicating a weak relationship.

conclusionsICS and transcription intelligibility are complementary measures in giving a holistic picture of how well a child is understood, in shaping an individualized interventional plan and in monitoring progress. SUPPLEMENTAL MATERIAL: https://doi.org/10.23641/asha.29856173.
