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

ObjectiveExamine factors that impact ratings of speech acceptability and parent-reported speech intelligibility using the Intelligibility in Context Scale (ICS).DesignProspective, cross-sectional study.SettingPublic research university.PatientsThirty children 4 to 7 years old with a repaired cleft palate.VariablesPerceptual ratings derived from the Cleft Audit Protocol for Speech-Augmented-Americleft Modification, ICS, percent consonants correct (PCC), age, and sex.Main Outcome Measure(s)Factors associated with speech accepatability were assessed using Spearman's rho (ρ) and chi-square tests. Factors that predicted the average score on the ICS were assessed using linear regression.ResultsHypernasality ratings and PCC were associated with ratings of speech acceptability. There was a moderate, positive correlation between ratings of hypernasality and ratings of speech acceptability [ρ = .51,
