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.

Abstract

backgroundAging is associated with a decrease in muscle mass and strength in swallowing muscles, as well as in whole-body muscles. A decrease in tongue pressure (TP) is related with whole-body function, and the trunk, including abdominal and back muscles, forms the core of the body. However, the direct relationship between TP and trunk muscle strength remains unclear.

aimsTo clarify the association between back muscle strength, an indicator of trunk muscle strength, and TP in healthy elderly individuals.

methodsIn all, 112 healthy community-dwelling individuals aged ≥ 60 years (men: 35, median age 74.0; women: 77, median age 69.0) were included. Body mass index (BMI), TP, and back muscle strength (BMS) were measured. Tooth loss pattern was evaluated by the Eichner classification. Participants were divided into two groups based on the median of the BMS and classified into three groups based on the Eichner index (Eichner A, B, and C). The effects of BMS and occlusal support on TP were analyzed.

resultsIn the low BMS group, there was a significant difference in TP between the Eichner B and Eichner C (p = 0.017) groups. However, in the high BMS group, occlusal support did not affect TP. Moreover, the explanatory factors for TP were BMS (β = 0.373, p = 0.001) and the Eichner index (β = 0.190, p = 0.036).

conclusionsTP was correlated more with BMS than aging and occlusal support in healthy elderly individuals. This study indicated that the clinical evaluation of the whole body is important when assessing oral and swallowing function.
