Left hemisphere lateralization in unilateral upper motor neuron dysarthria via quantitative acoustic analysis.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
This paper aimed to identify specific acoustic parameters F1, F2, and Vowel Space Area (VSA), Vowel Articulation Index (VAI), Formant Centralization Ratio (FCR) for evaluating speech in Mandarin-speaking individuals with Unilateral Upper Motor Neuron (UUMN) dysarthria. Additionally, it explored the correlation between dysarthria severity and lesion side based on these parameters and scale results. This study conducted comparative study using acoustic spectral analysis to analyze phonetic features among UUMN dysarthria (UUMND) patients and neurologically normal adults, and the Left-sided and Right-sided upper motor neuron dysarthria (UMND) groups. The Mandibular-Oral Motor Function Assessment Scale (MOMFAS) was used in the study. The acoustic parameters F1, F2 and VSA, VAI, FCR showed significant differences between individuals with UUMN dysarthria and neurologically normal adults. Comparing left-sided upper motor neuron (UMN) dysarthria patients with right-sided UMN dysarthria patients, a considerable increase in FCR was observed in the left-sided group, while VSA and VAI showed significant decreases. The mean scale score of left-sided UMN dysarthria patients was also significantly lower than that of individuals with right-sided UMN dysarthria. The severity of UUMND was more pronounced in individuals with left-sided lesions, providing supportive evidence of lateralization on the left hemisphere. The acoustic indices F1, F2 and VSA, VAI, FCR can sensitively reflect the vowel changes of UUMND patients. They could be utilized not only to describe the acoustic properties of UUMND patients but also to assess the effectiveness of rehabilitation therapy on impaired vowel articulation in such patients.
