Signs for Early Detection of Dysphagia in Older Adults with Severe Alzheimer's Disease.
Article in The journal of nutrition, health & aging, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
objectivesThe aim of this study was to detect signs of dysphagia in older adults with and without Alzheimer's disease (AD). STUDY
designA cross-sectional study. SETTING AND
participantsA total of 280 institutionalized older adults (with AD = 145; without AD = 135), aged > 70 years, with oral feeding, both sexes were examined. MEASUREMENTS: Modified water-swallowing test determined the dysphagia. Independent variables were dependency level (modified Barthel Index), oral health and function status (residual teeth, occlusal contacts, passive lip sealing, tongue function, rinsing and gargling ability), nutritional status (Body Mass Index, Mini Nutritional Assessment), and diet-related assessments (appetite, storing or stuffing food in the mouth). Statistical analysis was carried out by Fisher´s Exact and chi-square tests. The analyzes of associations with the dysphagia outcome were performed by simple and multiple logistic regression models.
resultsSeverity of AD was significantly associated with dysphagia. The signs associated with dysphagia were decreased nutritional status, absence of appetite, and storing food in the mouth.
conclusionThese signs can be useful tools for early diagnosis of dysphagia in AD older adults.
