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

Glottal resistance plays an important role in airflow conservation, especially in the context of high vocal demands. However, it remains unclear if laryngeal strategies most effective in controlling airflow during phonation are consistent with clinical manifestations of vocal hyperfunction. This study used a previously validated three-dimensional computational model of the vocal folds coupled with a respiratory model to investigate which laryngeal strategies were the best predictors of lung volume termination (LVT) and how these strategies' effects were modulated by respiratory parameters. Results indicated that the initial glottal angle and vertical thickness of the vocal folds were the best predictors of LVT regardless of subglottal pressure, lung volume initiation, and breath group duration. The effect of vertical thickness on LVT increased with the subglottal pressure-highlighting the importance of monitoring loudness during voice therapy to avoid laryngeal compensation-and decreased with increasing vocal fold stiffness. A positive initial glottal angle required an increase in vertical thickness to complete a target utterance, especially when the respiratory system was taxed. Overall, findings support the hypothesis that laryngeal strategies consistent with hyperfunctional voice disorders are effective in increasing LVT, and that conservation of airflow and respiratory effort may represent underlying mechanisms in those disorders.
