Effects of inspiratory muscle training for 28 days on the voice of women without vocal complaints.
Article in CoDAS, 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
purposeTo analyze the vocal effects of inspiratory muscle training for 28 days in women without vocal complaints.
methodsThe study included 22 women with no vocal complaints who underwent inspiratory training with the Respiron® Classic Breathing Trainer and Stimulator. The training consisted of 2 sets per day of 30 repetitions for 28 consecutive days. Vocal samples were collected pre and post training and compared regarding auditory-perceptual evaluation (APE), acoustic analysis, aerodynamic and diadochokinesis measurements, and vocal self-assessment. The data was statistically analyzed using dependent tests.
resultsNo differences were found in the APE of the sustained vowel /a/ and number counting. Differences were found in the acoustic analysis, with a decrease in the median Shimmer % and an increase in HNR. There was an increase in the average maximum phonation times of the vowel /i/, of the fricatives /s/ and /z/, and counting numbers. There was also an increase in the average number of syllable repetitions in the diadochokinesis of the syllables /ka/ and /pataka/ and the vowel /a/. Increase in the means of the physical V-RQOL self-assessment protocol and total V-RQOL, and decrease in VHI-10; VoiSS limitation, VoiSS physical, and total VoiSS.
conclusionIt can thus be inferred that the inspiratory training resulted in enhanced phonatory efficiency and augmented aerodynamic control, thereby conferring an improvement in vocal quality. It is therefore recommended that subjects who do not present vocal complaints and who wish to enhance their phonatory efficiency engage in inspiratory muscle training.
