Significant enhancement of swallowing function and oral hygiene following multidisciplinary team nursing in tongue cancer patients after radical resection.
Article in American journal of translational research, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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 effects of multidisciplinary team (MDT) nursing mode on the swallowing function and oral hygiene in patients after radical resection of tongue cancer (TC).
methodsThe data of 88 patients with TC treated in West China School/Hospital of Stomatology, Sichuan University were analyzed retrospectively. Among them, 42 patients who received routine nursing between February 2019 and February 2020 were assigned to a control group, and 46 patients who received MDT nursing between March 2020 and February 2022 were assigned to an observation group. The two groups were compared in the changes of postoperative swallowing function and oral hygiene, postoperative swallowing-related quality of life (QoL), and the survival rate for myocutaneous flap. The risk factors affecting swallowing function were analyzed through Logistic regression.
resultsAfter one month of nursing, the score of swallowing function decreased notably in both groups, with notably lower score in the observation group than that in the control group (P < 0.05). The control group exhibited notably lower oral cleanliness than the observation group after nursing (P < 0.05). Additionally, a notably lower survival rate of myocutaneous flap was found in the control group than that in the observation group (P < 0.05). The QoL scores of the two groups increased notably after nursing, and the observation group had notably higher QoL score than the control group (P < 0.05). The extent of glossectomy and nursing plan were independent risk factors impacting the recovery of swallowing function (P < 0.05).
conclusionMDT nursing have a positive impact on oral hygiene as well as the swallowing function of patients after radical resection of TC, and MDT is a protective factor for swallowing function in the patients after radical resection.
