Hand Grip Strength Assessment Based on Sarcopenia Diagnostic Criteria Predicts Swallowing Function.
Article in Dysphagia, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
The purpose of this study is to clarify whether swallowing function can be inferred from grip strength. Based on the diagnostic criteria of sarcopenia, patients were divided into two groups according to grip strength, and it was analyzed whether there was a difference in the evaluation index for swallowing function between the two groups. Among the cases requesting evaluation of swallowing function from June 10, 2020 to October 28, 2020, 83 cases (mean age: 71.7 years, 59 males and 24 females) who received assessment tests and swallowing endoscopy were included. According to the diagnostic criteria for grip strength in the Asian working group in Sarcopenia, less than 28 kgf and 18 kgf were defined as the weak group for men and women, respectively. Hyodo scores, repeated salivary swallowing tests (RSST), maximum vocalization time (MPT), and dysphagia severity classification (DSS) were compared between the two groups. Of the 83 patients, 29 and 54 were in the normal group and weak group, respectively. In all indicators, the normal group showed significantly better results than the weak group: Hyodo score (2.4 vs. 4.0, p < 0.01), RSST (4.1 times vs. 2.4 times, p < 0.01), MPT (12.1 s vs. 5.9 s, p < 0.001), DSS (4.5 vs. 5.9, p < 0.001), respectively. In multiple regression analysis with DSS as the dependent variable, grip strength was a significant independent variable of DSS even after adjusting for age, gender, and body mass index. Grip strength assessment based on sarcopenia criteria can be a useful tool for estimating swallowing function.
