Risk Factors Associated with Oral Intake Discontinuation in Hospitalized Patients with Aspiration Pneumonia: A Scoping Review.
Review in JMA journal, 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
Background: Aspiration pneumonia is a prevalent condition, and understanding the risk factors associated with discontinuation of oral intake upon discharge is crucial. This study aimed to identify such factors, thereby providing valuable insights for optimizing the use of limited healthcare resources and enhancing patient and family care. Methods: In this scoping review, data were collected through ICHUSHI using the search formula "Pneumonia-Aspiration/Thesaurus or Aspiration Pneumonia/All) and (Prognosis/Thesaurus or Prognosis/All)." The inclusion criteria encompassed Japanese patients hospitalized for aspiration pneumonia, with a clear outcome focused on the availability of oral intake. The exclusion criteria included text unavailability, studies from foreign countries, and cases involving not hospitalized patients. The risk of bias for each study was assessed using the Newcastle-Ottawa scale. Results: Using this search formula, 1,646 articles were initially identified, culminating in the inclusion of six articles for analysis. The investigation revealed five significant risk factors: social status (age and gender), nutritional status (body mass index, Controlling Nutritional Status score, serum albumin, Basal Energy Expenditure, and low body weight), physical swallowing function (ambulatory ability before admission, Food Intake LEVEL scale (FILS), admission origin, bedridden status, Penetration-Aspiration scale, presence of residual pharyngeal material, and Basal Index), pneumonia severity (A-DROP score, a classification tool incorporating age, dehydration, oxygen demand, impaired consciousness, and hypotension), and comorbidities (pneumonia, dementia, mental illness, malignancy, chronic lower respiratory tract involvement, and renal failure). Conclusions: This scoping review identified five key risk factors associated with oral intake discontinuation upon discharge in patients hospitalized for aspiration pneumonia, providing valuable evidence for future clinical practice.
