Dysphagia After Prolonged Intubation in SARS-CoV-19 Patients: A Single Institution Retrospective Review.
Article in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
objectiveTo determine the impact of various factors on swallowing in SARS-CoV-19 patients after prolonged intubation. Methods: A retrospective chart review of SARS-CoV-19 patients intubated between February 2020 and March 2021 was performed. Independent variables, including duration and factors of intubation, and patient demographic characteristics were analyzed. Formal swallow studies were performed for patients who failed a screening swallow evaluation. Results: Seventy-three individuals of 308 patients reviewed had a dysphagia score of ≤5. A total of 49% of patients' dysphagia resolved prior to discharge, with a median of eight days between extubation and the last evaluation. The median duration of intubation was 11 days. Increasing age, congestive heart failure, cerebrovascular disease, and hypertension were associated with dysphagia at the first and/or last evaluation. Hispanic ethnicity was associated with a decreased risk of dysphagia (all p<0.05). Conclusions: Although various patient factors including age and congestive heart failure were associated with the development of dysphagia after prolonged intubation, the length of intubation was not.
