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

Approximately 1.2% of the world's population has impaired voice production. As a result, automatic dysphonic voice detection has attracted considerable academic and clinical interest. However, existing methods for automated voice assessment often fail to generalize outside the training conditions or to other related applications. In this paper, we propose a deep learning framework for generating acoustic feature embeddings sensitive to vocal quality and robust across different corpora. A contrastive loss is combined with a classification loss to train our deep learning model jointly. Data warping methods are used on input voice samples to improve the robustness of our method. Empirical results demonstrate that our method not only achieves high in-corpus and cross-corpus classification accuracy but also generates good embeddings sensitive to voice quality and robust across different corpora. We also compare our results against three baseline methods on clean and three variations of deteriorated in-corpus and cross-corpus datasets and demonstrate that the proposed model consistently outperforms the baseline methods.
