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
Psychogenic voice disorder, often a manifestation of conversion disorder, is characterized by a sudden impairment of voice following a stressful event or other psychological cause. This case report presents a patient with a psychogenic voice disorder featuring the atypical ability to sing despite losing conversational voice. Few case reports exist on psychogenic speech and voice disorders, and no cases in the current literature examine the loss of conversational voice with preservation of singing voice. In this case, the patient experienced sudden onset stuttering which progressed to complete loss of voice in all settings while retaining the ability to sing. Despite extensive medical, psychiatric, and speech-language evaluations, including psychotherapy and speech therapy, the symptoms persisted, highlighting the diagnostic and treatment challenges in psychogenic voice disorders. This case underscores the complex interplay between psychological stressors and physical symptoms in psychogenic voice disorders, and highlights the lack of effective, evidence-based therapies for psychogenic voice disorders.
