Impact of double moisture technique on throat pain and dysphagia among post-operative Indian patients: A randomized controlled trial.
Article in Bioinformation, 2024. 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
Post-operative pharyngeal discomfort and dysphagia are common issues that interfere with recovery, especially after surgeries involving general anesthesia and endotracheal intubation. A randomized controlled trial was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of the double moisture technique in reducing sore throat and dysphagia in surgical recovery. Sixty patients were divided into experimental and control groups, with 30 patients each. The experimental group received steam inhalation and saline gargling, while the control group received routine treatment. Assessments were made on the second and third days post-intervention using standardized measures for throat pain and dysphagia. The results indicated a significant decrease in pain and dysphagia scores in the experimental group compared to pre-test values (F = 178.89, P ≤ 0.001; F = 213.76, P ≤ 0.001). The intervention group showed a 44.30% reduction in pain and a 21.58% reduction in dysphagia, while the control group had reductions of 20.60% and 9.66%, respectively. Demographic factors, such as age, comorbidities, BMI, activity level and occupation, also influenced the outcomes in the experimental group.
