Regional Tongue Deformations During Chewing and Drinking in the Pig.
Article in Integrative organismal biology (Oxford, England), 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
As a muscular hydrostat, the tongue undergoes complex deformations during most oral behaviors, including chewing and drinking. During thesebehaviors, deformations occur in concert with tongue and jaw movements to position and transport the bolus. Moreover, the various parts of the tongue may move and deform at similar timepoints relative to the gape cycle or they may occur at different timepoints, indicating regional biomechanical and functional variation. The goal of this study is to quantify tongue deformations during chewing and drinking in pigs by characterizing intrinsic changes in tongue dimensions (i.e., length and width) across multiple regions simultaneously. Tongue deformations are generally larger during chewing cycles compared to drinking cycles. Chewing and drinking also differ in the timing, relative to the gape cycle, of regional length and width, but not total length, deformations. This demonstrates functional differences in the temporal dynamics of localized shape changes, whereas the global properties of jaw-tongue coordination are maintained. Finally, differences in the trade-off between length and width deformations demonstrate that the properties of a muscular hydrostat are observed at the whole tongue level, but biomechanical variation (e.g., changes in movements and deformations) at the regional level exists. This study provides new critical insights into the regional contributions to tongue deformations as a basis for future work on multidimensional shape changes in soft tissues.
