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

Swallowing difficulties affects the deglutition of solid oral dosage forms (SODFs) and it is a common problem among neurological disorders. Interventions may improve the use of SODFs in healthcare settings. The aim of this study was to map the available research about the interventions aiming the effective and safe use of SODFs in adults with neurological disorders and swallowing difficulties and to identify potential literature gaps in this scientific field. A scoping review was carried out based on Joanna Briggs Institute guidelines and reported according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Extension for Scoping Reviews, in PubMed, Scopus, and SciELO databases (March 2021). Peer-reviewed observational studies assessed the effectiveness and safety of SODFs in adults with neurological disorders and swallowing difficulties in the healthcare organizations setting were included. 11 studies were included (three case reports, two mixed-methods intervention studies, and six analytic studies). The frequency of women ranged from 49 to 67%, and the age from 57 to 91 years. Most studies (n = 7) included elderly patients, Parkinson (n = 6) and dementia (n = 3). Medication review was the most frequently reported intervention, 35% (9/26). In most studies, interventions were targeted to patients during hospitalization (n = 7) and performed by physicians (n = 8). At least 20 different outcomes were evaluated in the studies. Implementing specific protocols for using SODFs aimed at the swallowing difficulties of this population is not a common practice. Additional studies on interventions aimed at optimizing SODFs are needed to support the safety and efficacy of oral therapy in this patient group.
