Reassessment of Poststroke Dysphagia in Rehabilitation Facility Results in Reduction in Diet Restrictions.

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
backgroundDysphagia assessment in postacute stroke patients can decrease the incidence of complications like malnutrition, dehydration, and aspiration pneumonia. It also helps to avoid unnecessary diet restrictions. The aim of this study is to verify if regular reassessment of dysphagia would change the diet management of postacute stroke patients in rehabilitation settings.
methodsThis single-center retrospective study included 63 patients referred to an inpatient neurological rehabilitation center between 2018-2019. A standardized clinical swallowing evaluation and Fiberoptic Endoscopic Evaluation of Swallowing (FEES) were performed. Diet level according to Functional Oral Intake Scale (FOIS) was evaluated. As the primary endpoint, the FOIS values based on diagnostic procedures were assessed at hospital discharge, rehabilitation admission, and after FEES.
results19 women (30%) and 44 men (70%), with a mean age of 75 y (SD ± 10.08), were enrolled. The intergroup ANOVA revealed significant differences (
conclusionInstrumental diagnostic by FEES during the early convalescence period of stroke patients leads to clinically relevant changes to diet restrictions and lower rates of pneumonia. Our findings underline the need for regular and qualitative dysphagia diagnostics in stroke patients participating in neurological rehabilitation.
