Influence of flow rate and fiber tension on dynamical, mechanical and acoustical parameters in a synthetic larynx model with integrated fibers.

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
Introduction: The human voice is generated by the oscillation of the vocal folds induced by exhalation airflow. Consequently, the characteristics of these oscillations and the primary sound signal are controlled by the longitudinal tension of the vocal folds, the flow rate, and their prephonatoric position. To facilitate independent control of these parameters, a synthetic larynx model was developed, as detailed in a previous publication. Methods: This study aims to statistically analyze the influence of airflow and fiber tension on phonation characteristics, such as periodicity and symmetry, glottis closure during vocal fold oscillations, as well as tissue elasticity and generated sound. A total of 76 experiments were conducted and statistically analyzed with a systematic variation of flow rate and longitudinal tension within the vocal folds.During these experiments, vocal fold motion, subglottal pressure, and emitted sound were meticulously measured and analyzed. Results: Groupwise statistical testing identified the flow rate as the main influencing parameter on nearly all phonation characteristics. However, the fundamental frequency, stiffness parameters, and quality parameters of the primary sound signal are predominantly controlled by the longitudinal tension within the vocal folds. Discussion: The results demonstrated a complex interplay between the flow rate and tension, resulting in different characteristics of the produced sound signal.
