Effects of Effortful Swallowing Exercise with Progressive Anterior Tongue Press Using Iowa Oral Performance Instrument (IOPI) on the Strength of Swallowing-Related Muscles in the Elderly: A Preliminary Study.

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
The purpose of this study was to confirm the effect of effortful swallowing (ES) exercise programs applied to increase the swallowing-related muscle strength in the elderly. In this study, 20 healthy elderly people (76.65 ± 5.87 years; 10 women and 10 men) participated and exercised for 7 weeks. The experimental group performed ES exercise combined with external resistance using Iowa Oral Performance Instrument (IOPI), and the control group performed pure ES without external resistance. The exercises were performed for 20 min a day, 2 days a week for 7 weeks in both groups. ES was repeated 60 times in weeks 1 and 2, 80 times in week 3 and 4, and 120 times in weeks 5-7. In the experimental group, the isometric and swallowing tongue pressures at week 8 were significantly improved compared to baseline. At week 8, the anterior and swallowing tongue pressures and anterior tongue endurance were significantly higher than those of the control group. In the control group, no significant change in tongue pressure-related variables was observed after 7 weeks of exercise. ES exercise combined with IOPI resistance for 7 weeks tended to increase the suprahyoid muscle activation level without statistical significance. For clinical application of this exercise protocol, further studies including more elderly people and patients with dysphagia are required.
