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

aimTo determine the relationship between working conditions, especially room acoustics, with voice symptoms and voice-related quality of life among Colombian school and college teachers during online classes in times of COVID-19 pandemic.

methodExploratory cross-sectional study. Participants were thirty-two primary, secondary and university Colombian teachers, who were invited to fill in an online survey about working conditions and voice symptoms during online classes in times of COVID-19 pandemic. In the statistical analysis, four dependent variables and eight independent variables were defined. We used Generalized Linear Model with a Gamma distribution and Binary Logistic Regression to determine the association between voice with working conditions.

resultsHigh reverberation time and stress during online classes in times of the COVID-19 pandemic reduced slightly the VRQOL scores. For Factor 3 of the VFI, high reverberation time and months teaching online classes were associated at the multivariate analysis. Stress and years of experience were statistically associated with an increased odds of reporting hoarseness.

conclusionSimilar to pre-COVID-19, teachers with online classes during the COVID-19 pandemic are affected by two work-related factors namely high reverberation time and stress. These two factors are increasing their likelihood of reporting hoarseness and having lower voice-related quality of life, which may confirm the relationship between reverberation, stress, and voice also during online classes. This highlights the need of implementing workplace vocal and mental health programs to decrease the occurrence of voice problems among teachers in times of and post-COVID-19 pandemic.
