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

Post-stroke aphasia is a major contributor to language impairment and neuro-disability worldwide, making automated assessment a critical research priority. However, clinically validated automatic speech recognition (ASR) systems remain limited by the scarcity of large, annotated datasets capturing aphasia's heterogeneous manifestations. We introduce SONIVA (Speech recOgNItion Validation in Aphasia), the largest and most comprehensively curated database for validating speech recognition in aphasia, comprising audio recordings from approximately 1,000 stroke survivors and 6,000 age-matched controls. The dataset comprises annotated speech from 571 stroke survivors, 103 of whom contributed longitudinal recordings (mean age: 60.65  ± 12.97 years; 68.77% male), and 103 controls (mean age: 59.64  ± 11.48 years; 62.05% male). These recordings are enriched with detailed linguistic coding, orthographic transcriptions, and International Phonetic Alphabet annotations. Foundation models fine-tuned on SONIVA correlate strongly with expert transcriptions (Spearman's r = 0.79-0.86; p < 0.0001), while acoustic classifiers achieve 93% stroke classification accuracy, enabling scalable analysis for rehabilitation and clinical assessment.
