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

Background: The use of acoustic biomarkers derived from speech signals is a promising non-invasive technique for diagnosing type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Despite its potential, there remains a critical gap in knowledge regarding the optimal number of voice recordings and recording schedule necessary to achieve effective diagnostic accuracy. Objective: This study aimed to determine the optimal number of voice samples and the ideal recording schedule (frequency and timing), required to maintain the T2DM diagnostic efficacy while reducing patient burden. Methods: We analyzed voice recordings from 78 adults (22 women), including 39 individuals diagnosed with T2DM. Participants had a mean (SD) age of 45.26 (10.63) years and mean (SD) BMI of 28.07 (4.59) kg/m². In total, 5035 voice recordings were collected, with a mean (SD) of 4.91 (1.45) recordings per day; higher adherence was observed among women (5.13 [1.38] vs 4.82 [1.46] in men). We evaluated the diagnostic accuracy of a previously developed voice-based model under different recording conditions. Segmented linear regression analysis was used to assess model accuracy across varying numbers of voice recordings, and the Kendall tau correlation was used to measure the relationship between recording settings and accuracy. A significance threshold of P<.05 was applied. Results: Our results showed that including up to 6 voice recordings notably improved the model accuracy for T2DM compared to using only one recording, with accuracy increasing from 59.61 to 65.02 for men and from 65.55 to 69.43 for women. Additionally, the day on which voice recordings were collected did not significantly affect model accuracy (P>.05). However, adhering to recording within a single day demonstrated higher accuracy, with accuracy of 73.95% for women and 85.48% for men when all recordings were from the first and second days. Conclusions: This study underscores the optimal voice recording settings to reduce patient burden while maintaining diagnostic efficacy.
