Therapeutic strategies for tongue musculature: a systematic literature review.
Synthesis in CoDAS, 2025. 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
purposeTo analyze the different therapeutic strategies prescribed in orofunctional rehabilitation of the tongue musculature. RESEARCH STRATEGIES: Regional Portal of the Virtual Health Library for Latin America and the Caribbean, Embase, PubMed/MEDLINE, Scientific Electronic Library Online, SciVerse Scopus and Cochrane databases were consulted, with the descriptors "exercise therapy" OR "physiology" OR "musculoskeletal physiological phenomena" OR "digestive system and oral physiological phenomena" AND "speech therapy" OR "myofunctional therapy" OR "speech language pathology" AND "tongue". Studies indexed until October 5, 2023, were included. SELECTION CRITERIA: Studies with an interventionist design with exercises for tongue musculature were included. DATA ANALYSIS: Three reviewers selected, extracted and tabulated the information from the studies. The PEDro scale was used to measure the studies' methodological quality.
results1.036 studies were found, and 18 were included in this review. The samples varied between 16 and 148 subjects, aged between 4 and 95 years. Only seven studies clearly described the exercises execution, and the number of sets, repetitions, and contraction duration. Fourteen studies clearly defined the exercises' objectives. The average score of the PEDro Scale analysis was 6.9, and 56.25% of the studies scored ≥7.
conclusionThere is a lack of a clear description of the exercises' goals and their clinical indications, which can lead to confusion and inadequate prescription. Future studies will need to provide a clear description of the outcomes, in order that we can define, according to the exercises and training program specificity, what the effects of different training methodological parameters in this musculature are.
