Oropharyngeal dysphagia among patients newly discharged to nursing home care after an episode of hospital care.
Article in Irish journal of medical science, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundOropharyngeal dysphagia (OPD) is a common but under-recognized problem among older residents in nursing homes. If not detected and properly managed, it is a risk factor for failure to thrive and aspiration pneumonia. Discharge to nursing home from hospital may provide an opportunity for detection and subsequent management.
objectiveTo assess the extent of transfer of communication of swallow disorders in patients newly discharged to nursing homes from a university teaching hospital and catalogue recommendations suggested at discharge.
settingUniversity teaching hospital
methodSpeech and language therapy (SLT) consultation notes of referrals from 100 consecutive patients discharged to nursing homes for the first time are reviewed for presence of a swallow disorder. The discharge documentation was then assessed to determine transfer recommendations for management of swallow disorders.
resultsFifty-three patients had been referred to SLT for suspected OPD during hospitalization. At time of discharge, 35 (35%) continued to present with OPD and swallow recommendations were made as part of the management plan. An SLT report was transmitted to the nursing home in 80% of these cases.
conclusionsOPD is present at discharge in over one-third of patients newly discharged to nursing home following a hospital admission, and this may be an under-estimate. This is significant in terms of planning of future care of management in nursing homes. It is important that the syndrome is duly noted in transfer documentation and that appropriate multi-disciplinary support arranged for residents in nursing homes with OPD.
