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

Vocal fatigue (VF) is a significant portion of occupational voice disorders. Researchers have proposed numerous therapeutic approaches to alleviate VF. However, the efficacy of vocal function exercises (VFEs) as a safe, effective, and simple method is unclear. The current study aims to investigate the effect of VFEs on occupational-related VF in Iranian bank workers. A single-blinded randomized controlled trial with four-level blocking After screening 444 workers, 43 persons with vocal fatigue (VF) were allocated between intervention and control groups. The gender of participants was considered a confounding parameter. Intervention group participants (IGP) (20 males and two females) practiced vocal function exercises (VFEs) (online training) for two weeks, while control group participants (CGP) (20 males and a female) continued their routine lifestyle. The Number of Vocal Fatigue Symptoms (NoVFS), Maximum Phonation Time (MPT), Voice Handicap Index (VHI), and Vocal Fatigue Index (VFI) at pre-intervention and post-intervention levels were gathered and compared. According to the intergroup, pre-/post-intervention differences, and intragroup analysis, the IGP experienced a significant reduction in the NoVFS (
