Detection of synchronization of the voice source and vocal tract in connected speech.
Article in The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
The purpose of this study was to investigate the degree to which the coupling between the oscillating sound source and the vocal tract filter occurs in connected speech samples, and to provide insight into how humans may choose to deploy this coupling for intelligibility, intensity, or both. A technique was developed to extract, from minutes-long speech samples, the time-dependent fundamental frequency (fo) and the first two formant frequencies (F1 and F2) to permit an analysis that determines whether a talker aligns a voice source harmonic with a vocal tract resonance, and also measures a normalized vowel space area. The accuracy of the processing method was validated by applying it to a set of audio samples generated via speech simulation that provided "ground-truth" data. It was then applied to a 41-talker database of clear and conversational speech. Results indicated that talkers make adjustments for different speaking styles that include not only increased vowel space area but also alignment of harmonics and formant frequencies, although future work is needed to determine whether these adjustments are directed toward maximizing transfer of information or transfer of acoustic power.
