Effect of oral motor facilitation technique on oral motor and feeding skills in children with cerebral palsy : a case study.
Article in BMC pediatrics, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT06343922 (Effects Of Oral Motor Facilitation Technique And Traditional Exercises On Drooling And Feeding Skills Of Children With Cerebral Palsy), which is not on this map.

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
backgroundDeficiencies in oral motor function and feeding skills are common in children with cerebral palsy (CP). Oral motor therapy is a useful method to improve oral motor function and feeding skills. Oral motor facilitation technique (OMFT) is a newly designed comprehensive oral motor therapy, including postural control, sensory adaptation, breathing control, sensorimotor facilitation, and direct feeding.
methodsThis study was performed to identify the effect of OMFT on oral motor function and feeding skills in children with CP. A total of 21 children with CP (3-10 years, GMFCS III-V) participated in 16 weeks (16 sessions) of OMFT. The effects on oral motor function and feeding skills were assessed using the Oral Motor Assessment Scale (OMAS) before the treatment, 8 and 16 weeks after OMFT. Data were analyzed using the Friedman test and post-hoc analysis.
resultsSignificant improvement was found in oral motor function and feeding skills including mouth closure, lip closure on the utensil, lip closure during deglutition, control of the food during swallowing, mastication, straw suction, and control of liquid during deglutition after OMFT. Mouth closure was the most effective and mastication was the least effective item. Sixteen weeks is more effective than 8 weeks of OMFT.
conclusionOMFT could be an effective and useful oral motor therapy protocol to improve oral motor function and feeding skills in children with CP.
