Influence of Sensory Monitoring on Speech Breathing Planning Processes: An Exploratory Study in Aging Speakers Reporting Dyspnea.
Article in Journal of speech, language, and hearing research : JSLHR, 2024. 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
purposePrevious studies have suggested that inspirations during speech pauses are influenced by the length of adjacent utterances, owing to respiratory motor planning and physiological recovery processes. The goal of this study was to examine how attention to respiratory sensations may influence these processes in aging speakers with dyspnea, by measuring the effect of sensory monitoring on the relationship between utterance length and the occurrence of inspirations, as well as on functional voice and respiratory measures.
methodSeventeen adults aged 50 years and older with complaints of voicing-related dyspnea completed a repeated-measures protocol consisting of a 2-week baseline phase and a 4-week sensory monitoring phase. Audiovisual recordings of semistructured speech and self-report questionnaires were collected at study onset, after the baseline phase, and after the sensory monitoring phase. Repeated-measures logistic regressions were conducted to examine changes in the relationship between utterance length and the occurrence of inspirations in adjacent pauses, and repeated-measures analyses of variance were used to investigate any changes in functional voice and respiratory measures.
resultsPlanning and recovery processes appeared to remain constant across the baseline phase. From postbaseline to postsensory monitoring timepoints, a strengthening of the relationship between the presence of an inspiration during a speech pause and the length of the subsequent-but not preceding-utterance was noted. Significant improvements were noted in voice-related handicap from study onset to postsensory monitoring, but no changes were reported in respiratory comfort during speech.
conclusionsResults suggest that respiratory planning processes, that is, the ability to plan breath intakes based on the length of upcoming utterances, may be modifiable behaviorally through targeted sensory monitoring. Further studies are warranted to validate the proposed role of respiratory sensation awareness in achieving skilled temporal coordination between voicing and breathing.
