A Tutorial on Diagnostic Benefit and Radiation Risk in Videofluoroscopic Swallowing Studies.
Review in Dysphagia, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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 videofluoroscopic swallowing study (VFSS) is a key tool in assessing swallowing function. As with any diagnostic procedure, the probable benefits of the study must be weighed against possible risks. The probable benefit of VFSS is an accurate assessment of swallowing function, enabling patient management decisions potentially leading to improved patient health status and quality of life. A possible (though highly unlikely) risk in VFSS is carcinogenesis, arising from the use of ionizing radiation. Clinicians performing videofluoroscopic swallowing studies should be familiar with both sides of the risk benefit equation in order to determine whether the study is medically justified. The intent of this article is to provide the necessary background for conversations about benefit and risk in videofluoroscopic swallowing studies.
