Development and effectiveness of exercise rehabilitation system for dysphagia using information and communication technology systems.
Article in Journal of rural medicine : JRM, 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
Objective: In older patients, dysphagia is a major risk factor for aspiration pneumonia and choking as it progresses slowly and recurs repeatedly without awareness. Information and communication technology (ICT) is used in various medical fields. However, no feeding or swallowing disorder prevention program has been developed to date and no reports have verified its effectiveness and safety. This study aimed to develop a dysphagia rehabilitation system using ICT and verify its effectiveness. Methods: Changes in swallowing function and functional prognosis were examined in 120 patients with aspiration pneumonia: 60 in the control and 60 in the ICT group. Physical therapists performed pulmonary rehabilitation in the control group. There were additional activities within the ICT rehabilitation system, such as motor and swallowing function evaluations, training sessions, and provision of dietary instructions, in addition to the rehabilitation content of the control group. Results: The Functional Oral Intake Scale (FOIS) score, a measure of swallowing function, significantly improved in the ICT group ( Conclusion: A rehabilitation program using ICT improved swallowing function and the Barthel index. The system can also be used in sparsely populated and rural areas where there are few rehabilitation professionals, and high ripple effects are expected.
