Electrical impedance phase variation in relation to articulation manner.
Article in Scientific reports, 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
This study aims to investigate variations in electrical impedance phase angle due to tongue-palate contact strength induced by different articulation manners. Unlike previous research focusing on pathological conditions, this study examined healthy participants, analyzing impedance phase variations across articulation manners (plain, tense, aspirated) and positions (alveolar, alveolar-post, velar). Tongue pressure, surface electromyography (sEMG), and acoustic features (F2 slope) were simultaneously recorded during articulation tasks, allowing a multidimensional analysis. Six healthy adults (four males and two females) performed consonant pronunciations designed to induce varying tongue tension. A custom-made flexible palatal sensor measured impedance characteristics, which were compared with tongue pressure and sEMG data. Additionally, acoustic analysis was conducted by examining the F2 slope and tongue-palatal contact duration. Results showed that increased tongue contact strength (TCS) led to higher impedance phase angles, elevated tongue pressure, and stronger sEMG signals. Acoustic analysis confirmed that stronger tongue contacts were associated with steeper F2 slopes and shorter contact durations. These findings suggest that the impedance phase may serve as an objective marker of tongue-palatal contact strength and articulation. Although limited by sample size, the findings of this study provide a basis for the development of diagnostic and rehabilitation devices for speech disorders.
