The factors related to decreases in masticatory performance and masticatory function until swallowing using gummy jelly in subjects aged 20-79 years.
Article in Journal of oral rehabilitation, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
backgroundThere is growing international interest in the prevention of decreased oral function for managing oral health in older people.
objectiveThe aims of the present study were to identify factors related to decreases in masticatory performance and masticatory function until swallowing in subjects aged 20-79 years old.
methodsA total of 152 subjects, ranging in age from 20 to 79 years, were divided into six groups according to their chronological age: 20-29, 30-39, 40-49, 50-59, 60-69 and 70-79 years. Grip strength, maximum occlusal force, maximum tongue pressure, masticatory performance and swallowing threshold were measured in all subjects. Masticatory performance and swallowing threshold were determined according to the concentration of dissolved glucose obtained from gummy jellies; decreased masticatory performance and decreased swallowing threshold were defined as glucose concentrations in the lowest 20th percentile. A multivariate binary logistic regression analysis was used to identify factors associated with decreased masticatory performance and decreased swallowing threshold. A self-administered lifestyle questionnaire was also completed.
resultsLogistic regression analyses revealed that factors related to decreased masticatory performance included use of more than one kind of medicine for treating chronic diseases and removable denture use, while factors related to decreased swallowing threshold included eating between meals once or more per day, poorer mental health and decreased saliva flow.
conclusionsDifferent factors are related to decreased masticatory performance and decreased swallowing threshold, although both of these phenomena are closely associated with general health status.
