1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

introductionThe ability of people with Parkinson's Disease (PWPD) to perceive and identify impairments related to communication and swallowing is often impaired. This impairment prolongs the time to diagnosis of dysphonia and dysphagia, and can delay implementation of speech or swallowing therapy. We have limited knowledge of how different motor phenotypes of PD impact speech, voice and swallowing, nor how PWPD perceive these impacts. The purpose of this study was to identify how perceptions of speech and voice impairments predict dysphagia in PD, and how those perceptions differ between motor phenotypes.

methods38 PWPD completed clinical surveys including V-RQOL, DHI, and a speech, voice, and swallow symptom questionnaire. Participants were categorized as either tremor dominant (TD) or non-tremor dominant (NTD) phenotypes. Multiple regression and MANOVA were utilized to identify predictors of dysphagia perceptions, and for differentiating between motor phenotype based on perceptual severity.

resultsPerceptions of speech and voice impairment predicted perceptions of swallow impairment regardless of phenotype (

conclusionThe use of a noninvasive and cost-efficient survey battery may be useful in predicting patient perceived swallow impairment in PWPD. Speech, voice, and swallow impairments based on survey responses were found to differ between motor phenotypes.
