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

Background: This study investigated the association between nasogastric tube feeding (NGF) and discharge rate to previous residences with oral intake in patients aged 80+ with aspiration pneumonia. Methods: A retrospective cohort study included 256 hospitalized patients with aspiration pneumonia from 2012 to 2022, which could not start oral intake within 48 h due to dysphagia. Using 1:2 matched-pair analysis, the association of interest was examined using logistic regression analysis. Results: NGF was associated with a lower discharge rate (odds ratio: 0.15; 95% CI: 0.05-0.46). Conclusion: Patients with NGF had a lower discharge rate to previous residences with oral intake.
