Vocal Fold Kinematics in Phonotrauma From High Speed Videoendoscopy.
Article in The Laryngoscope, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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
objectivesPhonotrauma is believed to result, in part, from elevated vocal fold contact stress associated with increased vocal fold closing speed and vocal hyperfunction. This study aimed to quantify vocal fold vibratory kinematics in phonotrauma, with the hypothesis that closing phase dynamics will be increased in individuals with phonotrauma.
methodsTwenty-six women with phonotraumatic vocal fold lesions and 29 vocally healthy control participants underwent high-speed videoendoscopy via a transoral rigid scope while phonating on a sustained /i/. Closing quotient (CQ), speed index (SI), amplitude-to-length ratio (ALR), stiffness index (STI), and maximum area declination rate (MADR) were compared between groups using independent t-tests and Cohen's d effect sizes.
resultsParticipants with phonotrauma had higher values of ALR (mean [SD], 11.5 [4.3] vs. 8.5 [2.3], p = 0.002, d = 0.86), indicating greater amplitude of vibration compared to controls. Similarly, the MADR was also higher in the phonotrauma group (mean [SD], 1.47 [1.05] vs. 0.51 [0.16] Mpx/s, p < 0.001, d = 1.3), indicating that the vocal fold closing speed was higher in the phonotrauma group. There was no difference in CQ, SI, or STI.
conclusionThese data support the link between phonotraumatic lesions and increased vocal fold contact stress. The findings highlight the maladaptive hyperfunctional cycle that accompanies phonotraumatic lesions and the disruption to vocal efficiency in the setting of phonotrauma. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: 2:
