Perceived Control, Voice Handicap, and Barriers to Voice Therapy.
Article in Journal of voice : official journal of the Voice Foundation, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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 associations of perceived control with voice outcomes and self-reported likelihood of attending voice therapy using a national practice-based research network. STUDY
designCross-sectional study of prospectively enrolled adult patients seen for dysphonia.
settingCreating Healthcare Excellence through Education and Research (CHEER) network of community and academic practice sites. SUBJECTS AND
methodsData collected included patient-reported demographics, outcome measures of voice (Voice Handicap Index-10), perceived control (present control subscale of voice-specific Perceived Control over Stressful Events Scale), personality (Ten Item Personality Inventory), likelihood of attending voice therapy if recommended, and barriers to attending voice therapy.
resultsPatients (N = 247) were enrolled over 12 months from 10 sites, of whom 170 received a recommendation for voice therapy. The majority (85%) of this group planned to attend voice therapy. Voice-specific perceived control and VHI-10 were inversely related (r = -0.31, P < 0.001), even when controlling for personality. No study variables were associated with self-reported likelihood of attending voice therapy, but perceived control was the most consistent correlate of specific barriers to attending voice therapy (eg, "hard to translate into everyday use") and was inversely related to these barriers.
conclusionsPatients scoring higher on a voice-specific measure of perceived control reported less voice handicap, independent of personality, and higher perceived control was associated with having fewer concerns about voice therapy goals and process. Perceived control is a potential target for intervention in patients with voice disorders.
