Effects of Tongue-Strengthening Exercise on the Geniohyoid Muscle in Young Healthy Adults.
Article in Dysphagia, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07203508 (Effect of Tongue-to-Palate Resistance Training on Penetration-Aspiration Scale and Suprahyoid Muscle Electrical Activity in Geriatric Patients With Oropharyngeal Dysphagia), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract
The activities of the suprahyoid muscles have been reported to be induced by tongue muscle contraction. The purpose of this research was to investigate whether tongue-strengthening exercises using a device cause hypertrophy of the geniohyoid muscle in healthy adults. Seven healthy young adults (3 men and 4 women, 21.0 ± 1.3 years old) received 8-week tongue muscle training with the JMS Tongue Pressure Measuring Device. The participants were instructed to press the anterior tongue against the hard palate 30 times in each session, three sessions a day, and 3 days a week. The exercise intensity was set to 60% of maximum tongue pressure in the first week, and to 80% of maximum tongue pressure for the remaining period. The training effect was evaluated by measuring (1) maximum tongue pressure value with the JMS Tongue Pressure Measuring Device, and (2) the area at rest, shortening amount, and contraction ratio of the geniohyoid muscle using ultrasonic imaging. After the 8-week training program, the maximum tongue pressure increased significantly from 44.9 to 61.6 kPa. The area of the geniohyoid muscle at rest also increased significantly from 2.3 to 2.6 cm
