Progressive Decline in Voice and Voice-Related Quality of Life in X-Linked Dystonia Parkinsonism.
Article in Journal of voice : official journal of the Voice Foundation, 2023. 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
objectiveTo characterize the evolution of swallowing and voice in patients with X-linked dystonia parkinsonism (XDP). STUDY
designRetrospective case series.
methodsRetrospective review of 59 patients with XDP from January 2016 to January 2018. All patients underwent complete examinations and quality of life (QOL) surveys (Swallowing Quality of Life questionnaire [SWAL-QOL], Voice-Related Quality of Life [V-RQOL], and Voice Handicap Index [VHI]), and functional endoscopic examination of swallowing. We excluded patients with incomplete records or patients lost to follow-up. Univariate analysis was used to compare 2016 to 2018 Penetration-Aspiration Scale (PAS), SWAL-QOL, V-RQOL, and VHI scores.
resultsTen patients met the inclusion criteria. Nine patients had oromandibular dystonia. Voice-related measures significantly worsened with an increase in mean VHI from 81 to 109.9 (P = 0.026) and decrease in mean V-RQOL from 58 to 28 (P = 0.013). Vocal strain also significantly worsened 0.4 to 1.4 (P = 0.001). Mean PAS scores increased from 4.2 to 5.1 (P = 0.068) and mean SWAL-QOL decreased from 50.4 to 43.5 (P = 0.157). In the SWAL-QOL, the mean Eating Duration score worsened from 0.9 to 0.4 (P = 0.052) and Mental Health score declined from 10.1 to 6.1 (P = 0.077).
conclusionsBoth vocal strain and voice-related QOL measures considerably worsened over the 2-year interval in our limited group of XDP patients with no significant change in PAS scores or swallowing QOL. The findings demonstrated that the pace of disease affecting voice symptoms was different from swallowing symptoms in our study group and that changes in communication ability may be a more sensitive marker for disease progression than swallowing dysfunction.
