Oral Intake in the Complete Lateral Position as a Compensatory Method for a Patient with Severe Dysphagia: A Case Report.
Article in Progress in rehabilitation medicine, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Background: We report a patient with severe dysphagia who was successfully treated using our newly developed swallowing rehabilitation method involving a complete lateral position. Case: This case involved a 74-year-old male patient with dysphagia caused by multiple morbidities, including sarcopenia after panperitonitis, Wallenberg syndrome, and Lewy body dementia. We attempted oral feeding in the complete lateral position and observed that the bolus was moving as intended and was swallowed without penetration or aspiration. The patient achieved oral feeding using the complete lateral position, and his physical and cognitive functions improved. He was discharged home and continued feeding orally without alternative means for more than 5 years. Discussion: In the flat (complete) lateral position, the bolus flows and pools as far as possible from the airway opening of the pharynx. Using this method, gravity aids in preventing penetration and aspiration. Therefore, eating in the complete lateral position has immediate effects that are reproducible and not dependent on the cognitive function or motor skills of the patient or the assistance skills of the caregivers.
