Tracheoesophageal Voicing Following Resistance-Based Dysphagia Rehabilitation: An Exploratory Multidimensional Assessment.
Article in Head & neck, 2025. 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
backgroundThis exploratory study investigated tracheoesophageal voicing following 6 weeks of resistance-based dysphagia rehabilitation with the SEA2.0, using a multidimensional assessment approach.
methodsTwenty laryngectomized participants were assessed at T0 (baseline), T1 (after 6 weeks training), and T2 (after 8 weeks rest). Training included the chin tuck, jaw opening, and effortful swallow against resistance. Multidimensional assessments included acoustic analysis (AVQI, intensity, dynamic range), clinician-rated perceptual evaluations (voice tonicity, intelligibility), PROMs (VHI-10, V-RQOL, CPIB-10), and tracheal manometry and pharyngeal-/esophageal high-resolution impedance manometry during voicing.
resultsNo significant changes in mean AVQI, intensity, dynamic range, voice tonicity, intelligibility, PROMs, and physical outcomes (manometry) were found. However, several clinically relevant changes, mostly improvements, were noted in 14 participants for AVQI and PROMs.
conclusionTracheoesophageal voice, on average, is not affected by resistance-based muscle training for swallowing rehabilitation. For some participants, however, several clinically relevant improvements in voice quality and quality of life were noticeable.
