A Case of Swallowing Apraxia Due to Acute Infarct in the Right Precentral Gyrus.

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
Swallowing apraxia is an intriguing type of apraxia where the patient cannot swallow despite normal neurological examinations including motor, sensory and cerebellar function. In this case report, we present a 60-year-old hypertensive male with swallowing apraxia. There was no attempt to swallow when food materials were given inside his mouth. Although he had normal examination findings including intact lip, tongue, palatal movement, and gag reflex. His cognition was also intact, as he could follow simple commands accurately. Except for a small infarct in the right precentral gyrus in the MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) of the brain, his investigation findings were normal. We treated him with nasogastric feeding, and he gradually recovered over a month. Clinicians should consider swallowing apraxia as one of the clinical features of stroke when patients present with acute onset of swallowing problems. This case report is believed to increase awareness regarding this condition and add valuable information to relevant further studies.
