Maximum Tongue Pressure is Associated with Swallowing Dysfunction in ALS Patients.

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
Maximum tongue pressure (MTP) measurement is a convenient, less invasive assessment that has been developed to quantify tongue strength; however, it is unclear whether MTP is useful for the detection of swallowing disorders in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) patients. The purpose of this study was to clarify the relationship between MTP and the characteristics of swallowing disorders on videofluorography and to determine the usefulness of tongue pressure measurement for the assessment of swallowing function in ALS patients. Twenty-five ALS patients were evaluated according to the ALS functional rating scale-revised (ALSFRS-R), and their ability to swallow yogurt was observed via videofluorography. MTP was measured using a device (TPM-01, JMS, Hiroshima) equipped with a balloon probe. Then, the relationships between the ALSFRS-R score, swallowing function, and MTP were analyzed. MTP was significantly lower in the subjects with reduced tongue function (p = 0.002) or with pharyngeal residue (p = 0.006) than in the subjects with normal characteristics. Bolus formation and oral transit time and pharyngeal transit time were significantly prolonged among those with reduced MTP. MTP at a cut-off value of 21.0 kPa was associated with a full score on the bulbar-related items of the ALSFRS-R. MTP may serve as a new diagnostic tool for the early detection of swallowing dysfunction in ALS patients, because of its good relationship with their swallowing characteristics.
