Polypharmacy and Its Association with Dysphagia and Malnutrition among Stroke Patients with Sarcopenia.
Article in Nutrients, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the 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.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Evidence on polypharmacy in patients with sarcopenia is lacking. We aimed to examine the association of polypharmacy with swallowing function and nutritional risk in post-stroke patient with sarcopenia. This retrospective cohort study included hospitalized patients diagnosed with sarcopenia who needed convalescent rehabilitation following stroke onset. Study outcomes were the Food Intake Level Scale (FILS) as dysphagia assessment and geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI) as nutritional status at hospital discharge, respectively. To examine the impact of admission polypharmacy, multivariate linear regression analyses were used to determine whether the number of drugs prescribed at hospital admission was associated with these outcomes. As a result, of the 586 patients enrolled, 257 (mean age 79.3 years, 44.0% male) were diagnosed with sarcopenia and were finally analyzed high admission drug prescription numbers were independently associated with FILS (β = -0.133,
