Reliability of Lexical Stress Transcription in Childhood Apraxia of Speech.
Article in American journal of speech-language pathology, 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
purposeLexical stress errors are a reported characteristic of childhood apraxia of speech (CAS) in American English-speaking children. However, the ability to reliably identify stress errors may vary given several factors. This study examines the interrater reliability of lexical stress accuracy ratings derived from phonetic transcriptions.
methodFifty-six General American English-speaking participants with CAS aged 9-16 years engaged in picture-naming and multisyllabic word imitation tasks at up to four different time points. Some participants (
resultsIntraclass correlation coefficient and Fleiss' kappa were used to describe reliability across three raters per item. Results suggest that transcription of lexical stress for children with CAS is moderately reliable. Lexical stress reliability among transcribers was lower than the reliability observed for percent consonants correct from the same transcribers on the same tasks. Listeners were more reliable in transcribing productions from participants in the telehealth group than in transcribing productions from face-to-face participants.
conclusionsLexical stress judgments were found to have good intrarater reliability. The role of lexical stress as a moderately reliable construct in the speech profile of school-aged General American English-speaking children with CAS is discussed in regard to clinical use.
