The effect of electrolyte balance on the voice in hemodialysis patients.
Article in European archives of oto-rhino-laryngology : official journal of the European Federation of Oto-Rhino-Laryngological Societies (EUFOS) : affiliated with the German Society for Oto-Rhino-Laryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
objectiveThe aim of the study was to demonstrate the effect of blood electrolytes on the voice in chronic hemodialysis patients.
methodsThe study included a total of 59 hemodialysis patients. Pre- and post-dialysis voice recordings were performed. In the analysis of vocal acoustic parameters, fundamental frequency (F0), jitter, shimmer, the noise-to-harmonics ratio (NHR), and F0 minimum and F0 maximum were measured. The Voice Handicap Index-10 (VHI-10), and maximum phonation time (MPT) were evaluated. For perceptual evaluation, the GRBAS scale was used. The duration of dialysis (years) and changes in weight during dialysis were recorded for each patient. From venous blood samples, measurements were taken of hemoglobin (Hb), albumin, Na+, K+, creatinine, uric acid, phosphorus, Ca++, and parathormone.
resultsThe difference in the pre and post-dialysis values of F0, shimmer, NHR and MPT were found to be statistically significant (p = 0.001). The only variable determined to have an effect on the change in F0 values was uric acid, and the change in the F0 values was statistically significant (p = 0.009). The only variable determined to have an effect on the change in shimmer values was sodium, and the change was statistically significant (p = 0.034). The only variable determined to have an effect on the change in NHR values was creatinine, and the change in the NHR values was statistically significant (p = 0.028). Hb and the duration of dialysis were determined to have a statistically significant effect on the change in MPT values (p = 0.001).
conclusionsThe results showed that uric acid was the agent creating a reduction in vocal cord vibration, the agent increasing the difference between vibration waves was Na+, and creatinine increased the NHR rate. The effect of these variables can be considered important in the understanding of vocal cord physiology.
