Eating and Drinking Ability Classification System to detect aspiration risk in children with cerebral palsy: a validation study.
Article in European journal of pediatrics, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
This prospective study has two aims. The first aim is to assess the concurrent validity of the Eating and Drinking Ability Classification System (EDACS) as a means of identifying aspiration risk in children with cerebral palsy by using the Pediatric version of the Eating Assessment Tool (PEDI-EAT-10) as the reference test. The second aim is to investigate the relationship between the aspiration and non-aspiration groups using both the EDACS and the PEDI-EAT-10. Data were collected and analyzed from the EDACS and PEDI-EAT-10 using a convenience sample of 131 children with cerebral palsy and feeding problems (77 males, 54 females; median age 4.4 years [IQR 2.5 years]). Risk of aspiration was identified in 118 individuals using the PEDI-EAT-10 scores of ≥ 5 points. The EDACS proved to be a valid tool in identifying aspiration risk in children who are classified in EDACS levels III-V. There was a significant correlation between the EDACS and PEDI-EAT-10 (r
