Relationship between Oral Health Status and Oropharyngeal Dysphagia in Older People: A Systematic Review.
Synthesis in International journal of environmental research and public health, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 23 papers, 5 of them syntheses that pooled it.
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
The purpose of this review is to investigate the relationship between oral health status and oropharyngeal dysphagia (OD) in older people and to collect a list of oral health indicators that can enable carers and health professionals to screen for risk of dysphagia in older people during oral examinations. A systematic review was performed following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis Protocol (PRISMA-P 2015) guidelines. The analysis methods and inclusion criteria were documented in a protocol published in the Prospective International Register of Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO) under the registration number CRD42020140458. A total of 19 articles published between 2002 and 2020 were retained by the search criteria for the qualitative synthesis. Eighteen studies demonstrated at least one positive association between an oral health component (dental, salivary and/or muscular) and dysphagia. This review highlights that oral health and OD are associated but was not able to determine causality. The lack of scientific evidence could be explained by the observational approach of the majority of the studies and the irrelevant choice of oral health indicators. A relationship may exist between oral health and dysphagia, but this review highlights the lack of valid and standardized oral health indicators that would be needed to assess the impact of oral health on the overall health status of individuals.
