Emerging Role of Ultrasound in Dysphagia Assessment and Intervention: A Narrative Review.
Review in Frontiers in rehabilitation sciences, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT07098767 (Investigating the Reliability of Using Ultrasonography to Assess Swallowing Function in Patients With Dysphagia), which is not on this map. Cited by 19 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
Ultrasonography has gained increasing attention as a non-invasive and radiation-free instrument for the assessment of swallowing function. In the past decades, an extensive repertoire of ultrasonographic techniques, such as, B-mode dynamic scanning, pixel analysis, M-mode, Doppler, 3D reconstruction, and sonoelastography, has been applied in the evaluation of oropharyngeal structures and movement. Yet, a universal consensus on the examination protocols and clinical implications remains to be established. This review aimed to provide a brief introduction of the application of ultrasound in dysphagia assessment and intervention, encompassing the ultrasonography of swallowing-related muscles, tongue movement, and hyolaryngeal excursion, as well as ultrasound-guided interventions in the management of dysphagia. In addition to non-invasiveness, ultrasonography, a portable, easy to use, and low-cost technique, could compliment videofluoroscopic swallowing study as a first-line screening and follow-up tool for the evaluation of swallowing function, although further study is warranted to provide quantitative diagnostic and prognostic values. Finally, ultrasonography aids in the precisely targeted injection of botulinum toxin in patients exhibiting oropharyngeal muscle spasticity.
