Effects of chin tuck against resistance exercise on post-stroke dysphagia rehabilitation: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
Synthesis in Frontiers in neurology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 papers, 1 of them a synthesis 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
Background: Chin tuck against resistance (CTAR) exercise was introduced to substitute for the commonly used Shaker exercise for dysphagia rehabilitation. The effects of CTAR exercise in stroke survivors needs to be validated. Objective: To investigate the effects of Chin tuck against resistance (CTAR) exercise on the swallowing function and psychological condition in stroke survivors compared to no exercise intervention and the Shaker exercise. Materials and methods: The Cochrane Library, PubMed, Web of Science, EMBASE, CINAHL and four Chinese databases were searched for randomized controlled trails (RCTs) and quasi-RCTs from inception to February 2022. Results: After screened and assessed the methodological quality of the studies, nine studies with 548 stroke survivors were included in the systematic review. 8 studies were included in the meta-analysis using RevMan 5.4 software. The mean difference (MD) or standardized mean difference (SMD) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated. The results revealed that CTAR exercise is effective in improving swallowing safety (MD, -1.43; 95% CI, -1.81 to -1.06; Conclusions: Our findings support CTAR exercise as a superior therapeutic exercise for post-stroke dysphagia rehabilitation than Shaker exercise. More high-qualities RCTs from larger multicenter are needed to analysis the effects of CTAR exercise in patients with different type and phase of stroke and explore the optimal training dose.
