[Swallowing and dysphagia in the elderly].
Article in HNO, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 papers.
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
Disturbances of the swallowing process can occur at any age and might lead to choking. However, the risk of dysphagia increases with advanced age. This is not only due to a higher incidence of diseases that cause dysphagia, but also to age-related changes in the mechanisms of swallowing. Aging affects all of the anatomic structures involved in the swallowing process. Important changes include limitations to mastication, delayed triggering of the swallowing reflex, expansion of pharyngeal structures, prolonged pharyngeal propulsion, loss of pharyngeal sensitivity, increased rigidity of the esophageal wall and reduced esophageal contractility. Changes in swallowing function caused by aging alone are termed presbyphagia. If these changes are so severe that their compensation is no longer possible, presbydysphagia occurs. For diagnostic and therapeutic purposes it is mandatory to evaluate presbyphagic and presbydysphagic changes in the swallowing process, and to distinguish these from other non-age-related causes of dysphagia.
