Neural basis of dysphagia in stroke: A systematic review and meta-analysis.
Review in Frontiers in human neuroscience, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 28 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
Objectives: Dysphagia is a major cause of stroke infection and death, and identification of structural and functional brain area changes associated with post-stroke dysphagia (PSD) can help in early screening and clinical intervention. Studies on PSD have reported numerous structural lesions and functional abnormalities in brain regions, and a systematic review is lacking. We aimed to integrate several neuroimaging studies to summarize the empirical evidence of neurological changes leading to PSD. Methods: We conducted a systematic review of studies that used structural neuroimaging and functional neuroimaging approaches to explore structural and functional brain regions associated with swallowing after stroke, with additional evidence using a live activation likelihood estimation (ALE) approach. Results: A total of 35 studies were included, including 20 studies with structural neuroimaging analysis, 14 studies with functional neuroimaging analysis and one study reporting results for both. The overall results suggest that structural lesions and functional abnormalities in the sensorimotor cortex, insula, cerebellum, cingulate gyrus, thalamus, basal ganglia, and associated white matter connections in individuals with stroke may contribute to dysphagia, and the ALE analysis provides additional evidence for structural lesions in the right lentiform nucleus and right thalamus and functional abnormalities in the left thalamus. Conclusion: Our findings suggest that PSD is associated with neurological changes in brain regions such as sensorimotor cortex, insula, cerebellum, cingulate gyrus, thalamus, basal ganglia, and associated white matter connections. Adequate understanding of the mechanisms of neural changes in the post-stroke swallowing network may assist in clinical diagnosis and provide ideas for the development of new interventions in clinical practice.
