1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Currently, diagnosis of voice disorders is often made when patients visit the clinic, by which time speakers already experience vocal difficulties. The goal of this study was to develop a voice inversion system that predicts how speakers modulate vocal physiology from the produced voice, toward early detection of unhealthy vocal behavior. Two neural networks, a Bayesian neural network and a deep ensemble of neural networks, were developed that predict changes in vocal physiological parameters and their confidence intervals. Comparison to human data showed that both networks were able to predict meaningful differences in vocal behavior across subjects, demonstrating their potential toward ambulatory monitoring of vocal behavior at the physiological level.
