Dysphagia Post-Extubation Affects Long-Term Mortality in Mixed Adult ICU Patients-Data From a Large Prospective Observational Study With Systematic Dysphagia Screening.
Article in Critical care explorations, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05795569 (Removal of Nasogastric Feeding Tube Post Extubation in ICU), which is not on this 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.

Abstract
Data on long-term effects of post-extubation dysphagia is lacking. We investigate mid- and long-term clinical outcomes in a large sample of ICU patients with systematic dysphagia screening.
designOutcome analysis with a follow-up of 6 years or death (whichever occurred earlier) of ICU patients from a prospective observational trial (Dysphagia in Mechanically Ventilated ICU Patients study) with systematic dysphagia screening.
settingICU of a tertiary care academic center. PATIENTS: Nine-hundred thirty-three mixed medical-surgical ICU patients (median age, 66 yr; interquartile range [IQR], 54-74, Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II score 19 [IQR, 14-24], 71% male).
interventionsICU patients were followed up for a mean follow-up period of 1,731 ± 772 days (4.7 ± 2.1 yr). Primary outcome measures were 180-day and 360-day all-cause mortality in ICU patients with versus without dysphagia. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN
resultsTwo-hundred seventy-three patients died (29.3%) during the observational interval (
conclusionsLong-term follow-up of a large cohort of medical-surgical adult ICU patients systematically screened for dysphagia showed that dysphagia is associated with increased hazards for death for up to 1 year after ICU admission. Our data underline effects of post-extubation dysphagia on long-term clinical outcomes in affected critically ill patients.
