Prevalence and associated factors of voice symptoms among Mexican prospective teachers: A cross-sectional study.

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
aimsThis study aimed to determine the prevalence and associated factors of voice symptoms among Mexican prospective teachers.
methodThis cross-sectional study was conducted in the fall of 2023. Data was collected from all four years of the teacher education program offered by participating institutions. A total of 1233 students participated across the four institutions. Before completing the questionnaire, students read and virtually signed an informed consent form outlining the study's details and their rights. A self-report web-based questionnaire was developed for this study consisting of the following: (1) demographic details, (2) educational details, (3) lifestyle habits, and (4) use of health care services due to voice symptoms. Further, participants completed the Spanish version of the Voice Symptom Scale (VoiSS), the Vocal Fatigue Index (VFI), and the Screening Index for Voice Disorder (SIVD).
resultsThe prevalence of voice symptoms varied depending on the instrument used. The perception of dust in the practicum placement was the most significant teaching-training condition associated with voice symptoms reported using different scales (VoiSS, OR = 2.00; SIVD, OR = 2.08) and being statistically associated with tiredness of voice (Factor 1 of the VFI) (OR = 1.72). Prospective teachers in their third year of training or who were starting their practicum placement were more likely to report voice symptoms measured using all the scales (VFI Factors 1 and 2, VoiSS, and SIVD). DISCUSSION AND
conclusionBefore experiencing the full occupational vocal demands of the teaching profession, prospective teachers may be exposed to teaching-training conditions that increase their likelihood of reporting voice symptoms. There may be an opportunity for implementing early intervention and education programs by identifying associated demands and the prevalence of voice symptoms during prospective teachers' training.
