Individual, occupational, and dysphonia-related factors in operational and administrative military police officers.
Observational study 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 occupational, individual, and dysphonia-related factors in military police officers in operational and administrative service.
methodsObservational, cross-sectional study with 482 police officers (77 administrative and 405 operational) from Belo Horizonte, Brazil. Data were collected through a questionnaire, sent via the Internet, with sociodemographic, occupational, and dysphonia-related questions, as well as the Brazilian Dysphonia Screening Tool (Br-DST) and the Job Stress Scale (JSS). The sample included police officers on active duty, from the enlisted personnel, who were not in military training courses. Those who did not respond to the survey by the end were excluded. Descriptive and association analyses between categorical variables were performed using the chi-square or Fisher's exact test.
resultsPolice officers in administrative and operational services had different police service time, perception of social support at work, threat or aggression at work, and raised voice in intense noise. The probability of moderate/high dysphonia was similar for police officers on operational and administrative duty. Approximately 18% of officers reported straining to speak, and 9% reported hoarseness. Absence from work due to voice problems was low in both service levels.
conclusionPolice officers on operational duty reported shorter service time, greater exposure to threats and physical aggression, raised voice due to intense noise, and low social support at work. Those working in administrative roles had opposite characteristics, suggesting a less health-unfavorable work environment.
