Impact of oral health guidance on the tongue-lip motor function of outpatients at a dental hospital.
Article in Gerodontology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers.
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
objectiveTo clarify the effect of oral health guidance on tongue-lip motor function in the outpatients visiting the Showa University Dental Hospital (Tokyo, Japan).
backgroundThe management of the oral function of older people visiting a dental hospital is important. Previous studies have revealed that tongue-lip motor function is easy to improve. However, the impact of oral health guidance on tongue-lip motor function in the outpatients of dental hospital requires further elucidation. MATERIALS AND
methodsThe participants (n = 35) included patients who were diagnosed with low tongue-lip motor function on evaluation by oral diadochokinesis (ODK) at the outpatient clinic. They underwent a second examination approximately 6-12 months later. Their demographic characteristics were recorded. Oral health guidance was provided through an educational leaflet on oral hypofunction when the participants visited the clinic. It included content on tongue twisters, voice training and a range of movement and muscle training of the tongue and lip.
resultsFollowing oral health guidance on tongue-lip motor function, the ODK values changed from 5.6 at the first examination to 6.0 at the second for /pa/, from 5.6 to 5.8 for /ta/ and from 5.2 to 5.4 for /ka/. This improvement was not significantly associated with age, sex, measurement period or number of visits.
conclusionThe findings of this longitudinal study suggested that oral health guidance using an oral hypofunction educational leaflet may be effective in improving the tongue-lip motor function of outpatients who had low tongue-lip motor function, regardless of the measurement period or the number of visits to the dental hospital.
