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

backgroundCommon self-assessment questionnaires on voice diagnostics focus mostly on functionality of the voice and the impact on the quality of life. Personal aspects such as the relationship with one's own voice and its self-perception are for the most part not taken into consideration.

objectivesIn this article a questionnaire for the assessment of the voice self-concept (Fragebogen zur Erfassung des stimmlichen Selbstkonzepts, FESS) is introduced. MATERIALS AND

methodsReliability and validity were tested with a sample of 308 student teachers. For external validity, the scales were correlated with standardized questionnaires of vocal, physical, and mental health. The scale reliability was also retested in 94 participants.

resultsThe principal component analysis confirmed the internal consistency of three subscales on the relationship with one's own voice, the awareness of the use of one's own voice, and the perception of the connection between voice and emotional changes.

conclusionThe FESS questionnaire was shown to be a reliable and valid instrument which supplements existing voice questionnaires by self-related aspects of the voice.
