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
purposeTo characterize the profile and demands of individuals on the waiting list for speech-language pathology care in a medium-sized Brazilian municipality.
methodsDescriptive study, carried out between July 2023 and July 2024, through telephone contact with individuals awaiting speech-language pathology care on the waiting list according to Center for Regulation and Evaluation and Control Division of a municipality in the interior of São Paulo. The list included individuals referred by the Primary Care network between February 2018 and December 2022. Information on sex, age, initial and current complaint, service area, and status in the queue (waiting or scheduled) were updated, collected by students under the guidance of professors of a Speech Therapy course in the aforementioned municipality. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics.
resultsOf the 393 individuals, 147 were excluded from the list (106 for no longer presenting demand and 41 for changing location). Among the remaining 246, ages ranged from 1 to 81 years, 71.9% were children up to 11 years old and 64.2% were male. In 26.8% of cases, there was a discrepancy between the current complaint and that on the referral form. The main demand was child language (83.9%). After organizing the information, 65.9% were scheduled for speech therapy.
conclusionUpdating the waiting list made it possible to identify the profile of individuals and their speech therapy demands, contributing to better planning and provision of services, in addition to helping to reduce the waiting list.
