A retrospective cross-sectional analysis of swallowing and tongue functions in maxillectomy patients.

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
purposeTo investigate the profiles of swallowing and tongue functions, and to identify factors influencing swallowing in maxillectomy patients.
methodsMaxillectomy patients whose swallowing function defined by Eating Assessment Tool (EAT-10) score and tongue functions (oral diadochokinesis: ODK, maximum tongue pressure: MTP) with or without obturator prostheses had been evaluated were enrolled in this study. The effects of the history of radiotherapy and soft palate defect on swallowing function were evaluated. The effect of radiotherapy on oral dryness was also evaluated. To examine correlations of swallowing function with continuous variables, Spearman correlation coefficients were calculated.
resultsA total of 47 maxillectomy patients (23 males and 24 females, median age: 71 [IQR: 63-76]) were registered. The median value of EAT-10 scores was 3 [IQR: 0-14]. Patients with the history of radiotherapy, but not with soft palate defect, showed significantly declined swallowing function. ODK and MTP of patients wearing obturator prostheses were significantly improved. No significant effect of radiotherapy on oral dryness was found. A significant correlation was found between EAT-10 score and MTP (P = 0.04).
conclusionsSwallowing function in maxillectomy patients was relatively impaired and the patients with the history of radiotherapy showed lower swallowing function. Obturator prostheses could contribute to the improvement of MTP and ODK (/ta/). MTP may play a crucial role in swallowing in maxillectomy patients.
