Vocal tract adjustments to minimize vocal fold contact pressure during phonation.
Article in The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
This computational study aims to identify vocal tract adjustments that minimize the peak vocal fold contact pressure during phonation and thus should be targeted in voice therapy treating phonotraumatic vocal hyperfunction. The results showed that for a given subglottal pressure, the effect of vocal tract adjustments on the peak vocal fold contact pressure was generally small except when such adjustments caused noticeable changes in the glottal flow amplitude. In this study, this occurred mainly when the lip opening was reduced and at conditions of large initial glottal angles or high subglottal pressures, which decreased the peak contact pressure but also significantly reduced the output sound pressure level (SPL). On the other hand, increasing lip opening significantly increased sound radiation efficiency from the mouth and reduced the subglottal pressure required to produce a target SPL. Because of the large effect of the subglottal pressure on the peak contact pressure, increasing lip opening thus was able to significantly reduce the peak contact pressure in voice tasks targeting a specific SPL. In contrast, the effect of pharyngeal expansion alone had only a small effect on the peak contact pressure, whether controlling for the subglottal pressure or targeting a specific SPL.
