Psychometric and Acoustic Investigation of Identity and Phonotraumatic Vocal Hyperfunction.
Article in Journal of voice : official journal of the Voice Foundation, 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
objectives/hypothesisThe purpose of this research was to explore how (1) identity orientation and (2) vocal congruence influence voice output characteristics in nonperformers with suspected phonotraumatic vocal hyperfunction (PVH) compared with vocally healthy performers and vocally healthy nonperformers across varying identity conditions. STUDY
designThe design was prospective cross-sectional.
methodsParticipants were (1) nonperformers with suspected PVH (n = 11, 10 women; mean age = 23.27 years; SD = 8.28), (2) healthy vocal performers (n = 8, 4 women; mean age = 23.75 years; SD = 5.34), and (3) healthy nonperformers (n = 10, 8 women; mean age = 22.90 years; SD = 5.04). Participants improvised statements under four different identity conditions: self with one's own (habitual) point of view (hPOV), resonant voice with hPOV, British accent with hPOV, and Romeo/Juliet. Participants also completed questionnaires pertaining to identity (Social and Personal Identities Scale [Nario-Redmond et al, 2004]) and vocal congruence (Vocal Congruence Scale [Crow et al, 2021]). The voice outcome was mean cepstral peak prominence mCPP (dB) across identity conditions.
resultsOnly the PVH group showed a significant relationship between identity orientation and mCPP (dB) across identity conditions; as personal identity orientation increased, so did variation in mCPP (dB). Vocal congruence was not significantly associated with voice variations in any of the groups.
conclusionsIndividuals with PVH may vary vocal quality more than many others to express identity. Clinical implications point to the potential value of tailoring rehabilitation goals for PVH to patients' identity-centric needs.
