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

Psychiatric inpatients might experience a higher incidence of dysphagia. However, the factors specifically affecting psychiatric inpatients with dysphagia remain unexplored. This study aims to explore the swallowing function and influencing factors of psychiatric inpatients. A total of 392 psychiatric inpatients were selected for this study. Their swallowing function was evaluated using the Standardized Swallowing Assessment. The data collected included sociodemographic characteristics, Social Support Rating Scale (SSRS) and Activity of Daily Living Scale (ADL). 75% of patients (n = 265) were female and 332 (84.7%) were over 60 years old. The significant factors influencing the swallowing function among psychiatric inpatients included age, diagnosis, duration of illness, somatic comorbidities and admission routes (P < 0.05). After subjecting these factors to linear regression analysis, it was revealed that the swallow function of psychiatric inpatients was strongly correlated with dementia, ADL (moderate dependence, severe dependence), somatic comorbidities, SSRS (utilization of social support, objective support) (P < 0.05). Psychiatric inpatients with dysphagia was affected to varying degrees by dementia, self-care ability, somatic comorbidities and social support. The swallowing function of psychiatric inpatients was associated with dementia, the ability to perform daily activities, somatic comorbidities and social support. Future studies should focus on the recovery of swallowing function and somatic comorbidities, self-care ability, and multi-level social support for psychiatric inpatients.
