Feasibility of Auditory-Perceptual Rating of Four Dimensions of Connected Speech in Aphasia.

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
purposeThe purpose of this preliminary research study was to evaluate the feasibility of directly rating four dimensions of connected speech in aphasia-Paraphasia, Logopenia, Agrammatism, and Motor Speech-using an auditory-perceptual approach.
methodSeventeen student clinicians rated the four dimensions in eight speech samples of individuals with aphasia drawn from AphasiaBank. There was minimal initial training, and the only feedback provided consisted of expert scores, which participants were asked to compare to their own ratings.
resultsOf the 68 total dimensions rated (4 dimensions × 17 students), about half were rated with good or excellent accuracy. However, ratings did not improve over the course of the session, suggesting that the feedback provided was insufficient.
conclusionDirectly rating four key dimensions with an auditory-perceptual approach shows promise as a highly efficient way to analyze connected speech in aphasia, but more comprehensive training and individualized feedback will be necessary to develop this approach for clinical applications.
