Verbal performance of total laryngectomized patients rehabilitated with esophageal speech and tracheoesophageal speech: impacts on patient quality of life.

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
introductionTotal laryngectomy has important psychophysical and social consequences for patients' quality of life because of the functional changes resulting from the removal of the larynx. Voice deprivation is perhaps the most relevant limiting factor in social relationships, increasing feelings of solitude and tending to drive individuals into social isolation. Multiple voice rehabilitation methods after total laryngectomy are available. This study aimed to determine the acoustic quality of the rehabilitated voice achieved with esophageal speech (ES) and tracheoesophageal speech (TES), and acoustic quality impacts on patients' perceptions of their quality of life. MATERIALS AND
methodsThe patient inclusion criterion was the completion of a speech rehabilitation course with ES or TES at least 6 months after total laryngectomy. The voice acoustic analysis was carried out automatically by using the Multidimensional Voice Program. The following parameters were extracted: fundamental frequency (F0), Jitter% (Jitt), Shimmer% (Shim), and noise-to-harmonic ratio (NHR). Subjective voice evaluation was performed by using the following questionnaires: Voice Handicap Index (VHI), Voice-related Quality of Life (V-RQOL), and Voice Performance Questionnaire (VPQ).
resultsThe acoustic analysis showed a difference between ES and TES patients on all acoustic parameters; this difference was significant for F0 (133.09±2.4 and 119±3.3, respectively;
conclusionThe rehabilitation of laryngectomized patients must be addressed by a multidisciplinary team that considers the personalities, personal needs, and relational conditions of individual patients in order to determine and apply the phonatory rehabilitation method most suitable for achieving a better quality of life.
