Vocal and auditory symptoms and self-perception of voice and hearing in voice actors.
Article in CoDAS, 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
purposeTo trace suspected voice disorder based on vocal and auditory symptoms self-reported by voice actors and analyze the correlation between these symptoms.
methodsQuantitative, cross-sectional and prospective study, approved by the institution's Research Ethics Committee. An online questionnaire was applied consisting of different instruments to trace vocal and auditory symptoms and conditions: Vocal Production of the Actor (VP-A), Screening Index for Voice Disorder (SIVD) and Self-Reported Hearing Loss Questionnaire (SRHLQ). Descriptive and inferential statistical analysis was conducted with the application of Fisher's Exact test to verify the association between suspected voice disorder (VD) and perceived hearing loss (HL) and variables of interest; and the Mantel-Haenszel test (p<0.05) was applied to measure the association between two variables controlled by a third variable.
results55 voice actors (27 men, 26 women and 1 non-binary person) composed the sample. An association between suspected VD with work habits, setting and organization and use of vocal technique was noted; self-perception of hearing and perception of HL was associated with habits and perceptions about the voice. Seven voice actors (12.7%) presented suspected VD and 31 (56.4%) presented perceived HL. The most common vocal symptom was throat clearing. Most of those with perceived HL (14, 25.5%) were aged up to 35 years.
conclusionSelf-perceived HL affected most participants and suspected VD was less frequent. There was an association between suspected VD and vocal symptoms and also with hearing.
