1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

In healthy normal individuals, the act of swallowing can be performed volitionally or can occur spontaneously. Several attempts have been made to look into the possible differences that might exist between automatic swallow (AS) and volitional swallow (VS). The present study is an attempt to physiologically differentiate AS from that of VS, using combined modules of tongue array and cervical auscultation of Digital Swallowing Workstation. 15 males and 15 female participants in the age range of 18-25 participated in the present study. They performed an AS task and a VS task. These were analyzed for parameters of maximum amplitude, duration and pressure. The result of the study revealed higher values for all the parameters of VS, but a statistically significant difference only for the duration parameter of cervical auscultation. This finding leads to the impression that the duration of vocal fold closure plays a major role in airway protection. Similar interesting findings on effect of gender and nature and organization of AS and VS have been discussed.
