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

The goal of this study is to identify vocal fold geometric and mechanical conditions that are likely to produce large contact pressure and thus high risk of vocal fold injury. Using a three-dimensional computational model of phonation, parametric simulations are performed with co-variations in vocal fold geometry and stiffness, with and without a vocal tract. For each simulation, the peak contact pressure is calculated. The results show that the subglottal pressure and the transverse stiffness of the vocal folds in the coronal plane have the largest and most consistent effect on the peak contact pressure, indicating the importance of maintaining a balance between the subglottal pressure and transverse stiffness to avoiding vocal fold injury. The presence of a vocal tract generally increases the peak contact pressure, particularly for an open-mouth vocal tract configuration. While a low degree of vocal fold approximation significantly reduces vocal fold contact pressure, for conditions of moderate and tight vocal fold approximation changes in vocal fold approximation may increase or decrease the peak contact pressure. The effects of the medial surface thickness and vocal fold stiffness along the anterior-posterior direction are similarly inconsistent and vary depending on other control parameters and the vocal tract configuration.
