1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

purposeDysphagia is a common symptom in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD), though it may go undiagnosed until severe complications arise. Dysphagia can be suspected on a clinical basis, but an instrumental assessment is mandatory to confirm its presence and evaluate pathophysiological aspects and severity of the swallowing impairment. Aim of this review is to inform the clinician and the radiologist on the importance and the main radiological findings of the Video-Fluoroscopic-Swallow-Study (VFSS) in patients with PD starting from the most recent literature data on the topic. MATERIALS AND

methodsDatabases analysis identified 98 papers (January 2000/October 2022) of which 55 were excluded after reading title, abstract and full-text. After evaluation of the selected articles and their references 7 additional papers were added.

resultsFifty papers were reviewed to answer the following four main questions: Should VFSS be routinely used to screen dysphagia? Compared to other diagnostic tools, what is the role of VFSS in PD patients with suspected dysphagia? What are the main VFSS findings and technical expedients ? What is the role of VFSS in the choice of the best treatment strategy ?

conclusionsVFSS represents a gold standard technique in the diagnostic evaluation of dysphagia in PD, having a fundamental role in the identification of patients with high risk of aspiration pneumonia and also being extremely helpful to guide to the choice of treatment strategies for dysphagia.
