Association of Dysphonia in Patients With Dysphagia in the United States: A National Database Study.
Article in The Laryngoscope, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
objectiveLimited research exists on the prevalence and comorbidity of dysphagia and dysphonia, though prior studies highlight their co-existence in multiple disease cohorts. This study investigates the prevalence of dysphonia in U.S. adults with dysphagia.
methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted using the NIH's All of Us Research Program controlled tier dataset (version 7). Multivariate logistic regression and marginal effects (ME) examined the association of dysphonia in U.S. adults with dysphagia.
resultsAmong 266,612 adults, 24,198 had dysphagia (median age, 67 years; 63% female), and 242,414 did not (median age, 58 years; 61% female). Dysphonia was significantly more prevalent in patients with dysphagia (14% vs. 1.9%, p < 0.001). Multivariate analysis showed a 6.78-fold increase in odds of dysphonia with dysphagia (95% CI 6.47-7.11; ME 9.82%). Dysphagia was significantly associated with dysphonia in patients with head and neck cancer (aOR 2.93; ME 13.51%), stroke (aOR 3.71; ME 14.56%), neurodegenerative conditions (aOR 4.34; ME 13.16%), COPD (aOR 4.33; ME 13.35%), ACDF (aOR 5.24; ME 18.90%), and vocal fold abnormalities (aOR 1.40; ME 7.71%).
conclusionPatients with dysphagia had a 6.78-fold increase in odds of having a diagnosis of dysphonia. Otolaryngologists and speech-language pathologists should consider dysphonia assessment in their patients presenting with dysphagia. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: 3:
