Effects of Back Pressure on the Feasibility and Tolerability of Laryngeal Diadochokinetic Exercise: A Pilot Study.
Article in Journal of voice : official journal of the Voice Foundation, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundThe term vocal demand response refers to how speakers meet vocal demands. Vocal loading tasks with predetermined demand parameters (duration, pitch, loudness, etc) have been used in research to study the vocal demand response; these have historically consisted of loud sustained vowel and loud speech tasks. Tasks founded on laryngeal diadochokinesis (LDDK) may be viable alternatives, especially if demand parameters such as exercise-rest ratio and fluid back pressure are concurrently modulated.
objectivesTo explore the effects of four fluid back pressure conditions (0, 5, 10, and 15 cm H
methodsParticipants (n = 12) completed 15-minute trials of LDDK in 30-second rest and exercise intervals against four counterbalanced back pressure conditions: 0, 5, 10, and 15 cm H
resultsPerceived vocal exertion, lightheadedness, and subjective laryngeal diadochokinetic difficulty increased as back pressure increased. Number of intervals completed, auditory-perceptual diadochokinetic strength, and participant rankings of back pressure conditions, by contrast, decreased as back pressure increased. 0 and 5 cm H DISCUSSION: Fluid back pressure was feasible and broadly tolerated during 15-minute trials of vocal exercise. However, the transition from 5 → 10 cm H
