Presbyphagia: A Conceptual Analysis of Contemporary Proposals and Their Influences on Clinical Diagnosis.

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
Swallowing is an essential process to maintain homeostasis in the human body. With aging, changes occur in both central and peripheral structures, giving rise to presbyphagia, involving morphological and functional alterations in swallowing. However, there is a lack of consensus on the definition of presbyphagia and its relationship with dysphagia. The primary objective of this research is to analyze the proposed definitions for the term "presbyphagia" in specialized literature and, secondarily, to assess how these definitions can influence the diagnosis of oropharyngeal dysphagia (OD). A systematic review was conducted to analyze the proposed definitions of presbyphagia and their impact on dysphagia diagnosis. Three main approaches to the definitions of presbyphagia were identified: (1) presbyphagia as an alteration in the swallowing process in healthy older adults, (2) presbyphagia as a swallowing disorder compensated by the physiological potential of healthy older adults, and (3) presbyphagia as a synonym for dysphagia. This study addresses the need for a clear definition of presbyphagia in older adults. It is concluded that presbyphagia should be understood as the etiology of OD rather than a compensated disorder or a synonym. This has significant implications for the diagnosis and treatment of swallowing disorders in the aging population. Given the ongoing nature of scientific discussion in this field, further research is required.
