Impact of registered dietitian and dental hygienist involvement on functional outcomes in patients with dysphagia: triad of rehabilitation, nutrition, and oral management.
Article in European geriatric medicine, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers.
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
purposeTo investigate whether the involvement of both registered dietitians and dental hygienists results in greater improvement in swallowing function and activities of daily living (ADL) in patients with dysphagia undergoing rehabilitation.
methodsOf 467 patients enrolled in the Japanese Sarcopenic Dysphagia database, 433 met the study eligibility criteria in a retrospective cohort study. Patients were divided into two groups based on whether or not they received intervention by both registered dietitians and dental hygienists. Outcomes were changes in the Food Intake Level Scale (FILS) and the Barthel Index (BI) at initial and follow-up assessments. Multiple regression analyses adjusted for age, sex, sarcopenia, dwelling, Charlson comorbidity index, malnutrition diagnosed by the Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition, and initial FILS or BI were conducted to examine the relationship between the involvement of both registered dietitians and dental hygienists.
resultsThe mean age was 80.5 and ± 10.7 years, and 222 were female. Both registered dietitians and dental hygienists were involved in 242 (57%) patients. Median and interquartile range changes in FILS and BI were 1 (0, 2) and 15 (0, 32.5), respectively. In multiple regression analyses, the change in the FILS was significantly higher in the involvement of both registered dietitians and dental hygienists (standardized coefficient = 0.075, P = 0.033), however, the change in the BI was not significantly different between the groups.
conclusionThe involvement of both registered dietitians and dental hygienists improved swallowing function, but not ADL. Triad of rehabilitation, nutrition, and oral management may be useful for patients with dysphagia.
