Content-based validity evidence of the Acute Voice Fatigue Self-Perception Scale (AFA-Voz Scale).
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
purposeObtaining evidence of content-based validity of the Self-Perceived Acute Voice Fatigue Scale (AFA-Voz Scale).
methodsThis study followed the Standards for Educational and Psychological Testing (SEPT) guidelines for test validation and was conducted in two stages. First, the content was developed based on the analysis of two systematic reviews with high quality evidence to identify the main aspects to be assessed in acute vocal fatigue. Then, a committee of five voice experts - all with more than ten years of clinical and scientific experience - was formed to assess the relevance of the selected items, using a Likert-type scale in an online form. Overall content validity indexes (CVI) and item validity indexes (CVI-I) were calculated to assess the relevance of the items.
resultsThe data indicated that the clinical presentation of acute vocal fatigue can be assessed in three dimensions: the level of self-reported fatigue, physical discomfort, and restriction in voice use. These items were included in the scale, which also included an anamnesis section to characterize the patient and their vocal demands. In the first round of evaluation, a CVI of 0.96 was obtained, with CVI-I ranging from 0.8 to 1.0. After suggested adjustments, the second round presented CVI and CVI-I equal to 1.00.
conclusionThe items of the AFA-Voz Scale were considered excellent regarding their relevance for the evaluation of acute vocal fatigue. The scale has high potential for clinical use and in future research on the subject.
