Voluntary Cough and Clinical Swallow Function in Children with Spastic Cerebral Palsy and Healthy Controls.
Article in Dysphagia, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
Dysphagia and resulting pulmonary sequelae are frequently observed in children with spastic cerebral palsy (SCP). However, physiological evidence regarding airway protective behaviors (specifically swallowing and cough function) in these children is sparse. The aim of this investigation was to quantify specific feeding, swallowing, and cough impairments in children with SCP compared to controls. Eleven children with SCP (mean age: 7 ± 2 years; GMFCS: I-V; MACS: I-V) and 10 age-matched controls participated. Clinical feeding and swallowing performance was evaluated with the dysphagia disorder survey (DDS) using standardized liquid, puree, and chewable solid consistencies. Suprahyoid muscle activity and respiratory-swallow patterns were assessed with simultaneous surface electromyography and respiratory inductance plethysmography as children swallowed the various consistencies. Voluntary cough airflow measures were also obtained. Nonparametric tests were used for group comparisons and correlational analyses. Compared to controls, children with SCP demonstrated more signs of clinical feeding and swallowing impairment (p < 0.0001, η
