Decrease in Tongue Pressure in Frail Patients in the Sitting Position and Its Alleviation by Plantar Grounding.
Article in Journal of clinical 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
purposeThe deterioration of oral function has received much attention, also being referred to as "Oral frailty". This study evaluated the change in tongue pressure, one of the objective items of oral frailty, to examine the relationship between body position and tongue pressure.
methodsThis study was a prospective, observational study conducted in a single center. The participants were categorized by their Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS) scores. Tongue pressure was measured in the following positions: dorsal, sitting, and sitting with plantar grounding. Differences in tongue pressure between CFS and between body positions were statistically analyzed.
resultsA significant decrease in tongue pressure was demonstrated in CFS4 compared to CFS3. Furthermore, in CFS5 and CFS6, tongue pressure decreased in the sitting position compared to that in the dorsal position, and tongue pressure recovered to the dorsal level with plantar grounding.
conclusionsTongue pressure decreased with the progression of frailty. It was decreased by sitting, and this decrease was alleviated by plantar grounding.
