Design and implementation of modified-texture diet in older adults with oropharyngeal dysphagia: a randomized controlled trial.
Trial report in European journal of clinical nutrition, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 25 papers, 4 of them syntheses 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
BACKGROUND/
objectivesOropharyngeal dysphagia (OD) is a common problem in elderly population that negatively affects the oral intake and body composition resulting in clinical complications as malnutrition and dehydration. The aim of this study was to design, implement, and evaluate the effect of texture-modified foods and thickened drinks diet, with nectar or pudding viscosity and controlled bolus volume in older adults with OD on body composition and oral intake. SUBJECTS/
methodsRandomized clinical trial, simple blind. Patients ≥ 65 years, admitted at a national institute, who had a confirmed diagnosis of OD were included. A texture-modified foods and thickened drinks diet, with nectar or pudding viscosity and controlled bolus volume, was compared to isocaloric standard treatment for 12 weeks. Body composition was evaluated by bioelectrical impedance, muscular functionality was evaluated by handgrip strength, and daily energy and protein intake by 24-h recall and evaluated by Food Processor Nutrition Analysis® software.
resultsTwenty participants were included per group, with mean age 76 years. After 12 weeks, the consumption of energy (29 ± 10 to 40 ± 15 kcal/kg, p = 0.009) and protein (1.3 ± 0.6 to 1.8 ± 0.7 g/kg, p = 0.03), as well as phase angle (4.4 ± 1.8 to 5.5 ± 2.5°, p = 0.05), body weight (56 ± 10 to 60 ± 10 kg, p < 0.001), and handgrip strength (18 ± 11 to 21 ± 13 kg, p = 0.004) increased in the intervention group. In control group there were no changes.
conclusionsThe dietary intervention improved oral intake, weight, handgrip strength, and phase angle, which can prevent or limit the nutritional complications associated with the OD.
