Segment-Based Signal Typing and Predictive Modeling in Pediatric Dysphonia With Different Vibratory Sources.
Article in Journal of speech, language, and hearing research : JSLHR, 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
purposeSevere dysphonia in children often poses a challenge for conventional acoustic measurement methods due to the high degree of aperiodicity, which can result in invalid or unreliable measures. Signal typing can support the validity of these measures, but current methods rely on subjective inspection and do not account for multiple signal types within a voice sample. This study aimed to improve current signal typing practices by refining a manual signal typing tool for segment-level labeling and a predictive model for objective signal typing.
methodSustained /ɑ/ phonations from 94 children with a glottal vibratory source and 30 children with supraglottal vibratory source (SGVS) were evaluated by three expert speech-language pathologists using the signal typing tool. Signal type labels determined through expert consensus were considered the ground truth for each segment and used to train a predictive model. Computational measures associated with periodicity and voice quality, including pitch strength, envelope standard deviation (EnvSD
resultsManual signal typing revealed that 11% of the overall samples and 20% of the samples with SGVS included two or more signal types. A predictive model incorporating EnvSD
conclusionsThe manual signal typing tool developed in this study shows promise for improving the precision of signal typing, which may enhance the reliability of conventional acoustic measures and enable the calculation of signal type proportions as potential outcome metrics. Automating signal typing using the measures investigated in this study could further increase the clinical utility of this tool by providing objective signal typing.
