1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

To investigate the association between tongue pressure (TP) and phase angle (PhA) in patients with connective tissue diseases (CTDs) aged 65 years or older. This retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted on 189 patients with CTDs who underwent hospital rehabilitation. TP was measured using a tongue pressure measuring device, and PhA was calculated from the bioimpedance analysis readings. Statistical analyses included multivariate linear regression with TP and receiver operating characteristic curves to determine PhA cutoff values indicative of low TP, defined as < 24.3 kPa for men and < 23.7 kPa for women. A total of 189 patients with CTDs (mean age 75 years; 49 men and 140 women; mean PhA 4.0°; mean TP 27.7 kPa) were included in the analysis. Fifty-five patients had low TP. Patients with low TP had lower PhA values than those with normal TP (mean PhA values 3.5° versus 4.3°). After adjusting for confounding factors, PhA (β = 0.387, p < 0.001) was significantly associated with TP. Cutoff values for PhA predicting low TP were identified as 3.9° for men and 3.5° for women. PhA is associated with TP, independent of other factors, in older inpatients with CTDs. The identified PhA cutoff values could enable the early detection of declining TP.
