Evaluation of vocal changes after vestibular rehabilitation in patients with balance disorders.
Article in Journal of vestibular research : equilibrium & orientation, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundAlthough there are articles and studies that associate postural changes with changes in vocal quality, to the best of our knowledge, this was the first study investigating the association between balance disorders and voice.
objectiveThis study aimed to determine whether patients with balance disorders present any clinical, acoustic, or endoscopic vocal changes, and if the correction of balance impairments, such as through vestibular rehabilitation, lead to improvement in vocal quality.
methodsThis was a prospective cohort study that analyzed vocal differences (clinical, videoendostroboscopic, audio-perceptual, and acoustic vocal parameters) in a sample of 43 patients with vestibular dysfunction at three different time points (pre-treatment, post-treatment, and 3 months' post-treatment) diagnosed by videonystagmography with changes in computerized dynamic posturography who were treated with vestibular rehabilitation.
resultsIn pre-treatment, all of the patients presented supraglottic hyperfunction during videoendoscopic examination and abnormal values in the audio-perceptual scale. After treatment for balance disorders, there was a statistically significant improvement in some parameters of the videoendoscopic and audio-perceptual measures. These improvements were detected immediately after treatment and remained present until at least three months after treatment.
conclusionsThe results suggested that the treatment for balance disorders results in changes in posture and consequently in voice quality.
