Association between tongue pressure and oral status and activities of daily living in stroke patients admitted to a convalescent rehabilitation unit.
Article in Clinical and experimental dental research, 2024. 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
backgroundClarifying how tongue pressure in convalescent stroke patients affects oral condition and activities of daily living (ADL) is important for developing oral rehabilitation programs and for rehabilitation care to reacquire ADL.
objectiveTo clarify how tongue pressure is associated with oral status, ADL, and nutritional status in stroke patients.
methodsSixty-eight patients aged 77.9 ± 10.0 years participated. The Japanese version of the Oral Health Assessment Tool was used to evaluate oral status. Data such as the ADL index functional independence measure (FIM), nutritional intake method, serum albumin, and body mass index were extracted from medical records. To examine factors associated with tongue pressure, multiple regression analysis was performed adjusting for confounding factors. The level of statistical significance was set at p < .05.
resultsIn recovery phase stroke patients, tongue pressure was significantly lower in the total assistance group than in the partial assistance/independent group. In addition, tongue pressure was significantly lower in tube feeding patients than in oral feeding patients. FIM cognition score was an independent factor that had a significant effect on tongue pressure.
conclusionThese findings suggest that ADL status also affects tongue pressure, thus patients' ADL including the FIM cognition subscale should also be evaluated while measuring tongue pressure.
