Reliability and validity of the Eating Assessment Tool-10 (Greek adaptation) in neurogenic and head and neck cancer-related oropharyngeal dysphagia.
Article in European archives of oto-rhino-laryngology : official journal of the European Federation of Oto-Rhino-Laryngological Societies (EUFOS) : affiliated with the German Society for Oto-Rhino-Laryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 30 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
purposeDysphagia is a symptom associated with significant morbidity and mortality, with profound impact on physical ability and quality of life. Many questionnaires have been used to assess patient-reported dysphagia, but issues related to developmental and measurement properties affect their wide applicability. The purpose of this study was to assess the validity and reliability of the Eating Assessment Tool-10 (EAT-10, Greek adaptation) in neurogenic and head and neck cancer-related dysphagia.
methodsThe study consisted of: item generation in the Greek language, internal consistency and reliability analysis, normative data generation, and validity analysis. Data were collected prospectively from 421 participants: 144 asymptomatic subjects, 146 patients with dysphagia, and 131 patients with dysphagia-related diagnoses. Validity was assessed by comparing scores of healthy and dysphagic participants, by comparing pre- and post-treatment scores, and by correlating the Greek-EAT-10 with fibreoptic endoscopic evaluation of swallowing (FEES).
resultsThe mean participants' age was 52.85 years (ranging from 18 to 85 years). All questionnaires were completed in less than 3 min. The overall internal consistency (assessed with Cronbach's alpha) was 0.963. The test-retest reliability was excellent with Spearman's rho ranging from 0.937 to 1. Dysphagic patients had a significantly higher score compared to healthy participants (p < 0.001). The mean EAT-10 improved significantly after treatment (Wilcoxon signed rank, p < 0.001). The Greek-EAT-10 and FEES scores were significantly correlated (Spearman's rho = 0.69).
conclusionsThe EAT-10 is a valid, reliable, symptom-specific tool for the assessment of dysphagia, easily self-administered, and practical for clinical use.
