Electrokinesiographic Study of Oropharyngeal Swallowing in Neurogenic Dysphagia.
Review in Dysphagia, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
Electrokinesiographic study of swallowing (EKSS) can be useful for the assessment of patients with suspected or overt neurogenic dysphagia. EKSS consists of multichannel recording of the electromyographic (EMG) activity of the suprahyoid/submental muscle complex (SHEMG), the EMG activity of the cricopharyngeal muscle (CPEMG), and the laryngopharyngeal mechanogram (LPM). The LPM is an expression of the mechanical changes that the laryngopharyngeal structures undergo during the pharyngeal phase of swallowing. This method allows detailed evaluation of the magnitude, duration and temporal relations of the different events that characterize oropharyngeal swallowing, and thus in-depth exploration both of physiological deglutition mechanisms and of pathophysiological features of swallowing in neurogenic dysphagia. Furthermore, EKSS can guide dysphagia treatment strategies, allowing identification of optimal solutions for single patients. For instance, CPEMG recording can identify incomplete or absent relaxation of the upper esophageal sphincter during the pharyngeal phase of swallowing, thus suggesting a therapeutic approach based on botulinum toxin injection into the cricopharyngeal muscle. More recently, the 'shape' of SHEMG and the reproducibility of both SHEMG and LPM over repeated swallowing acts have been implemented as novel electrokinesiographic parameters. These measures could be valuable for straightforward non-invasive investigation of dysphagia severity and response to dysphagia treatment in clinical practice.
