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

purposeTo evaluate the immediate effects of low-power laser photobiomodulation followed by the voiced tongue trill technique (VTTT) in women with behavioral dysphonia.

methodsThis is an experimental study with 30 dysphonic women divided into two groups: Group 1 (G1): placebo LASER followed by VTTT; and Group 2 (G2): infrared LASER at 9 Joules (J) per point (total 63 J) followed by VTTT. Multidimensional assessment included auditory-perceptual evaluation, aerodynamic measurement of maximum phonation time (MPT), acoustic analysis with short-term measurements, cepstral measurements, and extraction of multiparametric indexes, evaluation of self-perceived phonatory effort, and visual-perceptual evaluation of laryngeal images.

resultsVocal quality did not differ significantly between the intervention moments or between groups in sustained vowel, but there were positive changes in the overall degree of vocal deviation in the continuous speech task in the placebo LASER group followed by VTTT (p=0.047). G1 had a decrease in jitter (0.025) and pitch perturbation quotient (0.033), and G2 had an increase in MPT (p-value=0.013) and vowel CPPS (p-value=0.027), a decrease in self-perceived phonatory effort (p-value=0.014), and an improvement in vocal fold vibration parameters (p-value=0.017).

conclusionThe results show that infrared LASER associated with VTTT improves MPT, voice harmonic structure, self-perceived phonatory effort, and vocal fold vibration pattern of dysphonic women, suggesting that this resource has potential effects on the voice.
