Speech and language features as indicators of neuropsychiatric symptoms in a memory clinic population.
Article in Alzheimer's & dementia (Amsterdam, Netherlands). 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
introductionNeuropsychiatric symptoms (NPSs) are early hallmarks of neurocognitive disorders (NCDs). Speech alterations might indicate both cognitive and behavioral changes in NCDs, aiding in diagnosis and disease monitoring. This study examined associations between automatically extracted speech/language features and NPS severity.

resultsFeatures correlated significantly with NPSs. Indicatively, depression correlated with local jitter ( DISCUSSION: Speech analysis offers a promising tool for evaluating NPSs in NCDs. Highlights: We found links between neuropsychiatric symptom (NPS) severity and speech markers in memory clinic patients.Temporal markers positively correlated with the presence and severity of agitation.Depression was positively correlated with voice instabilities.Anxiety was negatively associated with metrics of lexical diversity.Speech analysis provides an objective tool to assess NPSs in subjective cognitive decline and mild cognitive impairment patients.
