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

Background: Evidence regarding the application of telepractice voice training in theater actors is inconclusive. Our study aimed to investigate changes in acoustic parameters, auditory-perceptual characteristics, and self-reported voice symptoms of theater actors with voice complaints undergoing telepractice voice training. Methods: Nine theater actors with voice complaints participated in this single-group intervention. In this pre-post study, we observed changes in the participants' voice quality. The participants received twelve online voice training sessions over six weeks. An auditory-perceptual evaluation was performed using the Consensus Auditory-Perceptual Evaluation of Voice (CAPE-V) profile to analyze the voice, while acoustic parameters were extracted from the recordings using Praat software. In addition, the Vocal Tract Discomfort Scale (VTDS) was administered as a self-report questionnaire. Outcome variables were measured pre-, post, and four weeks after the end of the training. The variables were then subjected to variance analysis with repeated measurements. Results: Voice training resulted in significant changes in acoustic parameters, such as jitter and HNR. Additionally, over time, significant improvements were observed in auditory-perceptual characteristics, including overall severity, roughness, breathiness, and strain. Conclusion: Telepractice voice training has the potential to enhance the voice quality of actors who experience voice complaints. However, more specific measures are necessary to fully understand the effectiveness of telepractice voice interventions compared with traditional face-to-face sessions.
