Self-reported Dysphagia and Pharyngeal Volume Following Whiplash Injury.
Article in Dysphagia, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Difficulty swallowing has been reported following whiplash injury; however, the reasons remain poorly understood. A possible factor may be the observed changes in pharyngeal volume. The current exploratory study was designed to examine the prevalence of self-reported dysphagia after whiplash and the relationship with recovery status and change in pharyngeal volume. Data were available from a longitudinal study of adults with whiplash. Data included magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the cervical spine, the Dysphagia Handicap Index (DHI), and Neck Disability Index (NDI) collected over four timepoints (< 1 week, 2 weeks, 3 months, and 12 months post-injury). Initial cross-sectional analysis examined 60 patients with DHI data from at least one timepoint. A second, longitudinal analysis was conducted on 31 participants with MRI, NDI, and DHI data at both early (< 1-2 weeks) and late (3-12 months) timepoints. The pharynx was contoured on axial T2-weighted MRI slices using OsiriX image processing software and pharyngeal volume (mm
