Comorbid Dysphagia and Dyspnea in Muscle Tension Dysphonia: A Global Laryngeal Musculoskeletal Problem.
Article in OTO open. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
objectiveTo characterize the associated symptoms of dysphagia and dyspnea among patients presenting with muscle tension dysphonia (MTD). STUDY
designRetrospective chart review performed over a 14-month period from October 2014 to December 2015.
settingVoice and swallowing center of a tertiary academic medical center. SUBJECTS AND
methodsThirty-eight patients with MTD were included for analysis. Clinical data were collected and analyzed, including perceptual voice evaluation and patient-reported outcomes measures.
resultsAmong patients with a diagnosis of MTD, the incidence of reported dysphagia during clinical history and examination was 44.7%. Among patients with MTD, 60.5% had an EAT-10 (10-item Eating Assessment Tool) score ≥3 (ie, abnormal). Patients who reported dysphagia and/or had abnormal EAT-10 score (≥3) had significantly greater voice impairment than that of patients without dysphagia (
conclusionsPatients presenting for dysphonia who are diagnosed with MTD have a high rate of comorbid dysphagia. Patients who reported dysphagia had significantly higher self-reported voice impairment and greater severity of breathing dysfunction as measured by the Clinical COPD Questionnaire. The coincidence of these symptoms in this patient cohort may suggest an underlying pathophysiology that has yet to be elucidated. Further prospective studies are needed to clarify the underlying cause of dysphagia and breathing dysfunction in the setting of MTD and to investigate diagnostic and therapeutic paradigms.
