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

backgroundType-II Diabetes Mellitus (TII-DM) is the most common endocrine disorder in people who are over 65 years of age. It leads to a decrease in muscle strength and impaired muscle coordination. Ageing and weakness cause swallowing difficulty (SD).

objectiveThe aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between duration of disease, SD and swallowing anxiety (SA) in TII-DM patients. STUDY

designProspective case-control study.

methodsA total of 103 elderly individuals (74 females and 29 males) participated in this study. Fifty-two elderly patients (aged 70.27 ± 4.65 years) had a TII-DM and the duration of DM was 11.32 ± 10.03 years (minimum: 0-40 years). Fifty-one patients without diabetes mellitus (69.35 ± 3.58 years) were included in the control group. SD was determined using the EAT-10 Questionnaire. SA was evaluated with the Swallowing Anxiety Scale developed in the Turkish population. Handgrip strength was evaluated with a Jamar dynamometer on the dominant side.

resultsThere was a significant difference in SD (p : 0.042), SA (p : 0.001), and handgrip strength (p : 0.039) between groups. There was a relationship between SD and SA in the control and DM groups (r : 0.577; p : 0.000 and r : 0.663; p : 0.000, respectively). There was no relationship between the other parameters (age, SD, SA, and handgrip strength) in the control group (p < 0.05). There was a positive moderate relationship between SA and duration of disease in the TII-DM group (r : 0.472; p : 0.000). There was no relationship between other parameters (age, SD, SA, handgrip strength, and duration of disease) in the DM group (p < 0.05).

conclusionIn elderly individuals with TII-DM and without DM, there were differences in SD, SA, and handgrip strength. Although there was a relationship between SD and SA in both groups, this relationship was found to be higher in elderly patients with TII-DM. In addition, there was a relationship between the duration of diagnosis and SA. In elderly individuals, evaluating SD with SA was thought to be helpful in the prevention or early rehabilitation of swallowing disorders.
