Dysphonia Is Associated With Anxiety and Depression in the All of Us Research Program.
Article in The Laryngoscope, 2026. 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
objectivesPrevious studies have examined the relationship between dysphonia and mental health, but often in small samples and not across age groups. In this large national epidemiological study, we examine if dysphonia is related to anxiety and depression generally and across cohorts of different ages.
methodsThis is a cross-sectional analysis of adults ≥ 18 years old in the All of Us dataset. The exposure was dysphonia (ICD-10 code R49.0), and the outcomes were anxiety (ICD-10 F41) and depression (ICD-10 F32-33). We performed multivariable logistic regression analyses, controlling for age, gender, race, ethnicity, insurance, education, smoking history, alcohol use, and medical comorbidities. A sub-analysis compared depression and anxiety odds across two and five age groups.
resultsOf 283,137 adults in our sample, the mean age was 56 years (standard deviation 16 years). Sixty-one percent identified as female. Controlling for covariates, those with dysphonia had 1.34 times (95% CI 1.27-1.41) the odds of depression and 1.44 times (1.37-1.52) the odds of anxiety compared to their non-dysphonia counterparts. After stratifying by age, the odds of depression and anxiety were 2.36 times (1.67-3.35) and 1.62 (1.14-2.30) respectively for participants ≥ 18-30 years old, 1.61 (1.37-1.89) and 1.75 (1.49-2.07) for > 30-45 year olds, 1.38 (1.23-1.55) and 1.46 (1.33-1.67) for > 45-60 year olds, 1.33 (1.23-1.44) and 1.46 (1.35-1.58) for > 60-75 year olds, and 1.22 (1.09-1.35) and 1.36 (1.22-1.51) for > 75 year olds.
conclusionsThose with dysphonia had higher odds of depression and anxiety. Following stratification by age, the odds for each were highest for the youngest age group. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: 3:
