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

A recent study in individuals with hyperfunctional voice disorders (HVDs) reported poorer fo discrimination compared to matched controls. In that study, fo discrimination was measured using each individual's own voice as the stimulus, which may have introduced confounds given the differences in vocal quality between the groups. Here, this paper addressed this possibility by using an fo discrimination task where participants with and without HVDs judged the same external voice. In line with the previous study, the HVD group exhibited poorer fo discrimination than controls, providing convergent evidence for a pitch-related auditory deficit in this population.
