Exploring Personality and Perceived Present Control as Factors in Postsurgical Voice Rest: A Case Comparison.
Article in Journal of voice : official journal of the Voice Foundation, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
objectiveThis case comparison explored the relation between personality, perceived present control, and postoperative voice rest (as estimated by self-report and objective voice use) following surgery for benign vocal fold lesions.
methodTwo participants were included. Both participants were diagnosed with benign vocal fold pathology, underwent phonosurgery, and were assigned to either complete voice rest (CVR) or relative voice rest (RVR) postoperatively. During voice rest (VR), a visual analog scale (VAS) and a dosimeter (the Vocalog2) were used daily to estimate self-perceived and objective voice use, respectively. The participants also completed questionnaires on voice-related demographics, the Voice Handicap Index (VHI), Ten-Item Personality Inventory (TIPI), and Perceived Present Control (PPC). After 7 days of CVR or RVR, participants completed a postoperative questionnaire and a final VAS for overall voice use.
resultsA wide discrepancy was observed in one of two participant's subjective perception of voice use (using the VAS) versus objective dosimetry data wherein she reported significantly more voice use than was observed objectively. Differences in personality and PPC between the participants did not appear to affect their voice use following the VR protocols.
conclusionThe amount of voice use in both VR protocols for these two participants suggests that personality and PPC did not affect their adherence to recommendations of VR. Patients may perceive their voice use differently across time, which might play a role in their adherence to voice rest recommendations: voice use measured as instances versus a unit of time (seconds).
