The effects of neuromuscular joint facilitation treatment using neck patterns on the acoustic analysis of swallowing sounds in healthy adults.

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
[Purpose] We aimed to investigate the changes in the swallowing sounds of healthy adults during neuromuscular joint facilitation treatment using neck patterns. [Participants and Methods] A total of 20 healthy adults (10 males and 10 females; mean age, 29.2 ± 6.3 years) swallowed 10 mL of water four times under three conditions (after the neuromuscular joint facilitation neck-flexion resistance pattern, after the Shaker-type exercise, and during relaxed sitting without prior exercise [control]), randomly ordered with an interval greater than 3 days. Swallowing sounds for each water swallow were recorded using cervical auscultation. [Results] The mean amplitude of swallowing sound intensity and the mean spectral frequency were significantly higher after the neuromuscular joint facilitation neck-flexion resistance pattern and the Shaker-type exercise, in comparison with those in the control group. [Conclusion] Neuromuscular joint facilitation training with the neck-flexion resistance pattern influenced swallowing sounds to the same degree as the Shaker-type exercise, implying that this resistance pattern may enhance suprahyoid muscle contraction.
