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

aimThis article provides an overview of the professional roles of audiologists and speech-language pathologists (S-LPs) in interprofessional primary care.

backgroundCurrent published literature considering primary care delivery within comprehensive interprofessional teams contains little representation of professionals from the fields of audiology and speech-language pathology.

methodsAn illustrative case scenario highlights the key roles of audiologists and S-LPs in primary care, and how collaborative relationships within an interprofessional primary care team structure can enhance the overall quality of care provided to patients and to their families.

findingsAs experts in the prevention, diagnosis, and rehabilitation of communication disorders, with S-LPs supporting speech and swallowing disorders and audiologists supporting hearing and vestibular disorders, S-LPs and audiologists are well-positioned to support meaningful participation in primary care across the lifespan and in collaboration with different healthcare professionals, including patients experiencing cognitive decline.
