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

Swallowing is a complicated, multilevel and neuromuscular physiological function. Transcutaneous neuromuscular electrical stimulation is a relatively new therapeutic intervention for the treatment of swallowing disorders. The aim was to administer and focus on pre and post therapy effects of traditional dysphagia therapy and electrical stimulation (TENS) in 2 participants with posterior stroke. Electrical current along with traditional dysphagia therapy on regular intervals with adequate current levels post stroke. These cumulative therapeutic strategies helped in improving the swallowing mechanism. TENS is one of the new therapeutic technique that has greater advantage along with traditional dysphagia therapy, which promises a lot of scope in cases with acute cerebrovascular accidents.
