Psychosocial distress in patients presenting with voice concerns.
Article in Journal of voice : official journal of the Voice Foundation, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 24 papers.
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
objectivesTo assess the prevalence of psychosocial distress (depression, anxiety, somatization, and perceived stress) in a consecutive sample of patients presenting with voice concerns and to qualitatively analyze patient comments on challenges associated with voice problems. STUDY
designCross-sectional study.
methodsNew patients presenting to a multidisciplinary voice clinic with voice concerns were invited to participate. Respondents (n = 197) completed the Brief Symptom Inventory 18-item scale, the 4-item Perceived Stress Scale, and the Voice Handicap Index 10-item scale. Qualitative analysis was performed of responses to an open-ended question about challenges associated with a voice problem.
resultsApproximately one-third (32%) of the patients met the strict case criteria for depression, anxiety, and/or somatic concerns based on the Brief Symptom Inventory 18-item scale. Most patients had no prior diagnosis of depression or anxiety, and the degree of distress was not predicted by the type of voice-related diagnosis. Perceived stress was higher among female patients (P = 0.02). As expected, scores on the Voice Handicap Index 10-item scale were indicative of concurrent voice-related handicap (mean, 19.5; standard deviation, 9.4). In qualitative analysis of responses regarding challenges associated with a voice problem, 19 themes were identified (eg, threat to occupational functioning).
conclusionsThese findings identify a high prevalence of multiple types of distress among patients with voice disorders, presenting an opportunity to provide more comprehensive care to this patient population.
