Validity, Reliability, and Usability of the Automated Method for Testing Auditory Sensitivity With Malay Instructional Video Among Malaysian Population.
Article in Journal of audiology & otology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
BACKGROUND AND
objectivesThe Automated Method for Testing Auditory Sensitivity (AMTAS) is a promising automated hearing assessment tool currently available as an alternative for conducting hearing assessments. The aim of this study was to assess the validity, reliability, and usability of the AMTAS in a Malaysian population. SUBJECTS AND
methodsThis study included 100 participants who participated in validity testing, 30 in reliability testing, and 232 participants who answered the Malay version of the mHealth Application Usability Questionnaire (M-MAUQ). The test was conducted at a general hospital and district hospital. Hearing thresholds were compared between conventional pure-tone audiometry and AMTAS for validation. The hearing threshold of the AMTAS was measured twice to investigate the test-retest reliability. The usability of the AMTAS was analyzed based on M-MAUQ scores for ease of use, interface and satisfaction, and usefulness after the participants used the AMTAS.
resultsThe mean difference in hearing thresholds between these two methods ranged from 1.25 dB to 3.40 dB at the general hospital and 0.30 dB to 3.35 dB at the district hospital, with over 95% of participants exhibiting a mean difference within ±10 dB. The intraclass correlation coefficient for the test-retest reliability of the AMTAS ranged from 0.64 to 0.99 across tested frequencies. The overall mean scores of the M-MAUQ for each item ranged from 6.31 to 6.80 out of a full score of 7, indicating excellent usability of the AMTAS.
conclusionsThis study revealed that the AMTAS is a valid and reliable approach for measuring hearing status in the Malaysian population, demonstrating high user satisfaction.
