Mapping the characteristics of training for vocal conditioning of singers: a scoping review.
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
purposeTo map and characterize intervention strategies for the vocal conditioning of singers without vocal complaints. RESEARCH STRATEGIES: Scoping review based on the question: How are the intervention strategies used for vocal conditioning of singers characterized? Searches were conducted in the following sources: LILACS, MEDLINE, Embase, Scopus, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, Google Scholar, medRxiv, ProQuest, Journal of Singing, and the Brazilian Digital Library of Theses and Dissertations. SELECTION CRITERIA: Studies with vocal or respiratory training of singers without vocal complaints, of any musical genre, over 18 years of age, were included. Studies with children, other voice professionals, participants with laryngeal and vocal alterations, voice rehabilitation, exclusively indirect approach or those that did not focus on vocal conditioning were excluded. DATA ANALYSIS: The results were summarized in tables and charts.
resultsA total of 12,358 studies were identified, eight of which met the eligibility criteria. The approaches focused on respiratory muscle strength and Semi-occluded Vocal Tract Exercises stood out. The number of repetitions together with monitoring of the total execution time was the most used. The duration of the interventions ranged from three weeks to six months and most of the training programs were conducted by speech-language pathologists and professionals from other areas. There was a predominance of self-assessments, with mostly positive results.
conclusionVariability was found in the intervention strategies used. The focus on simultaneous work between breathing and voice stood out, with respiratory muscle strength and Semi-occluded Vocal Tract exercises being the most used techniques.
