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
objective/hypothesisBehavioral voice therapy is the most common treatment for hyperfunctional voice disorders (HVDs) but has limited long-term effectiveness since the comprehensive mechanisms underlying HVDs remain unclear. Recent work has implicated disordered sensorimotor integration during speech in some speakers with HVDs and suggests that auditory processing is a key factor to consider in HVD assessment and therapy. The purpose of this case-series study was to assess whether current voice therapy approaches for HVDs resulted in improvements to auditory-motor function. STUDY
designLongitudinal (pre-post) study.
methodPre and postvoice therapy for HVDs, 11 speakers underwent an assessment of auditory-motor function via auditory discrimination of vocal pitch, responses to unanticipated auditory perturbations, and responses to predictable auditory perturbations of vocal pitch.
resultsAt the post-therapy session, 10 out of 11 participants demonstrated voice therapy success (via self-reported voice problems and/or auditory-perceptual judgements of voice by a clinician) and eight of the 11 participants demonstrated improvements in at least one measure of auditory discrimination and/or auditory-motor control. Specifically, three speakers demonstrated improvements in auditory discrimination, five speakers demonstrated improved (within typical cutoffs) responses to predictable perturbations, and two speakers demonstrated improvements in both auditory discrimination and auditory-motor measures.
conclusionsTogether, these findings support that voice therapy in individuals with HVDs may impact auditory-motor control and highlight the potential benefit of systematically addressing auditory function in voice therapy and assessment for HVDs.
