Practical recommendations for swallowing and speaking during NIV in people with neuromuscular disorders.
Review in Acta myologica : myopathies and cardiomyopathies : official journal of the Mediterranean Society of Myology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
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
Objectives: The functions of eating, drinking, speaking, and breathing demand close coordination of the upper airway musculature which may be challenged by the long-term use of daytime non-invasive ventilation (NIV). This rapid review explores the challenges and practicalities of these interactions in people with neuromuscular disorders. Methods: A search was performed on PubMed (period 2000-2023) using generic terms to refer to eating, drinking, and speaking related to people with neuromuscular disorders on NIV. A narrative approach was used to summarize the available literature. Results: Our review shows only a small number of studies exist exploring the use of NIV on swallowing and speaking in people with neuromuscular disorders. We summarize study findings and provide practical advice on eating, drinking and speaking with NIV. Conclusions: By understanding breathing, NIV mechanics and upper airway interactions, it is possible to optimize swallowing and speaking whilst using NIV. There is a lack of specific guidelines, and concerns regarding aspiration warrant further research and guideline development.
