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
Tongue pressure is often used to evaluate swallowing muscle strength in dysphagia patients with sarcopenia. However, the amount of tongue pressure that reflects pharyngeal swallowing function is unclear. The aims of this descriptive study were (1) to assess the association between tongue pressure and swallowing function using high-resolution manometry (HRM), (2) to evaluate whether manometric parameters were related to maximum tongue pressure (MTP) and other sarcopenia-related factors, and (3) to evaluate the manometric characteristics of pharyngeal swallowing in sarcopenic dysphagia. Sixteen patients with dysphagia (13 men; mean age 85.0 ± 6.6) who were diagnosed with sarcopenia and sixteen healthy subjects (10 men; mean age 33.6 ± 7.2) were included. Evaluation of HRM parameters including velopharyngeal contractile integral (VPCI), mesohypopharyngeal contractile integral (MHPCI), upper esophageal sphincter (UES) relaxation duration, and UES nadir pressure was performed. HRM parameters of patients were compared with MTP, sarcopenia factors, and manometric parameters of healthy subjects. The VPCI showed no statistically significant differences between patient and healthy groups. In the patient group, the MHPCI was significantly lower (126.1 ± 76.6 vs 193.2 ± 34.1 mmHg cm s; p = 0.003), UES nadir pressure was significantly higher (10.5 ± 27.5 vs - 11.2 ± 6.7 mmHg; p < 0.001), and UES relaxation duration (318.0 ± 152.4 vs 520.6 ± 60.0 ms; p = 0.007) was significantly shorter than those in the healthy group. HRM parameters were not significantly correlated with MTP and sarcopenia factors. Older dysphagia patients with sarcopenia had weaker pharyngeal contractility and UES dysfunction. Manometric evaluation of pharyngeal function may not be significantly associated with MTP and sarcopenia-related factors. Further study is needed to clinically apply tongue pressure for evaluating sarcopenic dysphagia.
