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 laryngeal strategies that minimize vocal fold contact pressure while producing a target sound pressure level (SPL) using a three-dimensional voice production model. The results show that while the subglottal pressure and transverse stiffness can be manipulated to reduce the peak contact pressure, such manipulations also reduce the SPL, and are thus less effective in reducing contact pressure in voice tasks targeting a specific SPL level. In contrast, changes in the initial glottal angle and vocal fold vertical thickness that reduce the contact pressure also increase the SPL. Thus, in voice tasks targeting a specific SPL, such changes in the initial glottal angle and vertical thickness also lower the subglottal pressure, which further reduces the peak contact pressure. Overall the results show that for voice tasks with a target SPL level, vocal fold contact pressure can be significantly reduced by adopting a barely abducted glottal configuration or reducing the vocal fold vertical thickness. Aerodynamic measures are effective in identifying voice production with large initial glottal angles, but by themselves alone are not useful in differentiating hyperadducted vocal folds from barely abducted vocal folds, which may be better differentiated by closed quotient and voice type measures.
