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

Dysphagia refers to painless impairment of the transport of liquid or solid food from the oral cavity to the stomach. If pain accompanies swallowing, this is termed odynophagia, and discomfort when swallowing saliva suggests a globus pharyngis. Swallowing disorders can occur during any one or all phases of bolus transport. The causes are manifold, due to the involvement of central control areas within the brain as well as the peripheral nervous system. The diagnosis consists of a detailed case history as well as screening forms and questionnaires. In Germany, the gold standard diagnostic procedure is flexible (video-)endoscopic evaluation of swallowing. Videofluoroscopy and electrophysiological examinations complement the diagnosis. Therapeutic options comprise functional strategies and rehabilitative exercises. However, the most important task of otorhinolaryngologists, in addition to the primary surgical treatment of tumors in the area of the upper swallowing tract (taking into account the preservation of swallowing structures), is the assessment of posttreatment dysphagia with the option of individualized surgical measures to improve swallowing.
