Agreement Between Hypernasality Ratings and Nasalance Scores in Spanish-English Bilingual Patients with Cleft Palate.
Article in The Cleft palate-craniofacial journal : official publication of the American Cleft Palate-Craniofacial Association, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
ObjectiveTo compare cross-linguistic auditory-perceptual nasality ratings and language-specific nasalance scores in Spanish-English bilingual children and adolescents with cleft palate.DesignRetrospective case series.SettingAcademic, tertiary pediatric hospital.ParticipantsSpanish- and English-speaking patients with cleft palate who underwent a bilingual resonance and articulation evaluation.Interventions/ComparisonsAuditory-perceptual nasality ratings versus nasalance scores.Main Outcome MeasuresCross-linguistic ratings of hypernasality, hyponasality, and audible nasal emission; mean and maximum nasalance scores for oral- and nasal-loaded stimuli in each language.ResultsEleven patients' data were analyzed (six females and five males; mean age, 11.3 years). Oral-loaded mean nasalance strongly reflected perceptual hypernasality in both languages; hyponasality ratings showed no relationship to mean nasalance with nasal-loaded stimuli in either language; and audible nasal emissions were associated with maximum nasalance in Spanish but not English. Repeated-measures analyses revealed no significant effect of phoneme context, language, or their interaction on either mean or maximum nasalance.ConclusionsOral-loaded mean nasalance measures strongly reflect perceptual hypernasality in both languages. Audible nasal emissions are significantly associated with maximum nasalance scores in Spanish only, suggesting possible language-specific perceptual and acoustic patterns. Further research is needed to determine if these conclusions hold in a larger, prospective cohort.
