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

purpose of reviewThe purpose of this review is to present an overview of principles of motor learning (PML) and summarize the most recent evidence regarding the application of PML to optimize voice therapy intervention. RECENT

findingsThe principles of motor learning that have been proven effective in sport, neuroscience, physical therapies and motor speech and swallowing therapies are now being demonstrated to be relevant and effective in voice therapy. SUMMARY: Current research is in its early stages with a small number of retrospective, prospective and experimental studies investigating aspects of practice, feedback, instruction and modelling. Low participant numbers are noted as a limitation in many studies. Research shows motor learning principles are effective, but large-scale studies are needed to develop a deeper understanding of how to optimise the PML in individual therapeutic scenarios.
