What is orofacial fatigue and how does it affect function for swallowing and speech?
Review in Seminars in speech and language, 2006. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 19 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Speech-language pathologists are likely to encounter patients who report symptoms of fatigue, but there are few clinical procedures to assess this phenomenon. Furthermore, it is difficult to determine whether fatigue contributes to a patient's dysphagia or dysarthria. This article reviews orofacial muscles, including the muscles of the tongue, lips, and cheeks, highlighting in particular their role in swallowing and speaking. It provides definitions of fatigue and describes assessment procedures. The author's research has focused on assessing fatigue, especially of the tongue, and elucidating the effects of exercising the tongue on speech and nonspeech tasks. Most of this work involves people who have Parkinson's disease and neurologically normal adults; results generally support heightened fatigue in Parkinson's disease. However, the effect of fatigue on functional activities remains unclear. Literature regarding the effects of orofacial fatigue on swallowing and speaking is notably sparse, but preliminary evidence indicates that these functions are rather robust.
