Instrumental Voice Evaluation in Children: What Are We Getting?
Observational study in American journal of speech-language pathology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
purposeThe aim of this study was to determine the age at which children with voice disorders can complete videostroboscopy, acoustic, and aerodynamic voice assessments. Factors predicting videostroboscopy tolerance were examined.
methodA retrospective observational cohort design was used. Three hundred twelve children with voice disorders were divided into the following age groups: 3-4, 5-6, 7-9, 10-12, and 13-17 years. Videostroboscopy was considered complete if patients produced enough phonation during the exam to allow for stroboscopic ratings of vocal fold oscillation (i.e., mucosal wave, amplitude) to be performed. Patient demographics, voice-related diagnoses, voice symptoms, vocal fold oscillation ratings, clinician experience level, and acoustic and aerodynamic voice measures were collected from the medical record.
resultsAll children tolerated laryngeal imaging under steady-state halogen light. Almost 17% of 3- to 4-year-olds tolerated videostroboscopy. This number significantly increased to 55% in 5- to 6-year-olds (
conclusionsVideostroboscopy is viable for young children with voice disorders. The ability to complete aerodynamic and voice range profile tasks may serve as a preliminary indicator of how well a patient will tolerate videostroboscopy. Future prospective study may determine the most effective approach to help children tolerate instrumental voice assessments.
