Effect of nodule size and stiffness on phonation threshold and collision pressures in a synthetic hemilaryngeal vocal fold model.
Article in The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Synthetic vocal fold (VF) replicas were used to explore the role of nodule size and stiffness on kinematic, aerodynamic, and acoustic measures of voiced speech production. Emphasis was placed on determining how changes in collision pressure may contribute to the development of phonotrauma. This was performed by adding spherical beads with different sizes and moduli of elasticity at the middle of the medial surface of synthetic silicone VF models, representing nodules of varying size and stiffness. The VF models were incorporated into a hemilaryngeal flow facility. For each case, self-sustained oscillations were investigated at the phonation threshold pressure. It was found that increasing the nodule diameter increased the open quotient, phonation threshold pressure, and phonation threshold flow rate. However, these values did not change considerably as a function of the modulus of elasticity of the nodule. Nevertheless, the ratio of collision pressure to subglottal pressure increased significantly for both increasing nodule size and stiffness. This suggests that over time, both growth in size and fibrosis of nodules will lead to an increasing cycle of compensatory vocal hyperfunction that accelerates phonotrauma.
