Survey of feeding issues experienced by patients with spinal muscular atrophy type 2 in Japan.

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
[Purpose] This study aimed to clarify the eating difficulties experienced by patients with spinal muscular atrophy type 2 in Japan. [Participants and Methods] This cross-sectional study was part of a larger survey of Japanese patients with spinal muscular atrophy that included the use of a questionnaire. The feeding questionnaire was developed by a medical professional and validated before survey administration. Of 221 patients who completed and returned the questionnaire, 62 had spinal muscular atrophy type 2. The average age of the study patients was 17.6 years (± 11.7 years). To identify feeding problems experienced by patients with spinal muscular atrophy type 2 by age, the participants were divided into the following three groups: 0-11 years, 12-19 years, and 20 years or older. [Results] The frequency of choking episodes during meals in Japanese patients with type 2 spinal muscular atrophy was 66.1% and increased with age. [Conclusion] Ongoing swallowing evaluation and feeding instructions are necessary for patients with spinal muscular atrophy type 2.
