Reliability of the mixing ability test testing masticatory performance in patients with head and neck cancer and healthy controls.
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 4 papers.
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
backgroundTreatment of patients with head and neck cancer can result in disrupted mastication. To measure masticatory performance in people with compromised mastication, the mixing ability test (MAT) was developed.
objectiveIn this study, the reliability of the MAT was evaluated in patients with head and neck cancer and healthy controls.
methodsThirty-four patients with head and neck cancer and 42 healthy controls performed the MAT twice on the same day. To assess reliability, the intra-class correlation coefficient (ICC
resultsA good (ICC = 0.886) and moderate correlation (ICC = 0.525) were found for patients and healthy controls, respectively. Patients had a worse mixing ability (mean = 19.12, SD = 4.56) in comparison with healthy controls (mean = 16.42, SD = 2.04). The SEM was 0.76 in patients and 1.45 in healthy controls, with a SDC of 2.12 and 4.02, respectively. The LoA was -4.46 to 4.42 in patients and -3.65 to 4.59 in healthy controls.
conclusionThe MAT has a good reliability in patients with head and neck cancer and a moderate reliability in healthy controls.
