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

Voice, in its most extensive definition, refers to the sound utilized for the transmission of thoughts, concepts, and opinions. This study investigates how vocal characteristics and function are affected by hormones during the process of aging and pregnancy. Through a systematic review of relevant literature during the period of 1965 to 2024, understanding the relationship between menopausal hormonal fluctuations and age-related vocal changes was carried out. The review identifies significant alterations in voice parameters linked to menopause, such as decreased fundamental frequency, increased vocal instability, and reduced voice quality in post- menopausal women compared to pre-menopausal women. Additionally, the analysis explores age-related vocal changes, noting gender differences. The results from the study show that the men generally experience a rise in speaking voice frequency with age, while women vocal trajectory is less clear. The findings emphasize the need for personalized interventions to address voice changes related to aging and hormonal shifts. By illuminating these complex vocal modulations across the lifespan, the review sets an underlying structure for the next studies aimed at optimizing voice care and improving the quality of life for those undergoing hormonal transitions and aging.
