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

backgroundFeeding and swallowing disorders (FSD)-dysphagia are common in adults with intellectual disabilities and frequently overseen by caregivers.

aimTo determine the clinical factors that are relevant in daily practise associated with FSD in adults with intellectual disabilities.

methodCross-sectional data were collected from medical files. In addition, a digital questionnaire was sent to the primary caregiver. Logistic regression analysis was performed on beforehand determined and associated clinical variables.

resultsIn total, 106 participants (age 19 to 89) were included, and 54% of these participants were classified as having FSD. Variables positively associated with FSD were increasing mealtime support needs (p = 0.000), coughing (p = 0.004), cramming food (p = 0.027) and having severe-profound intellectual disability (p = 0.001). The use of antipsychotic medication was negatively associated with FSD (p = 0.024).

conclusionFSD is common in adults with intellectual disabilities and is associated with mealtime support needs, coughing, cramming food, the severity of intellectual disability, and the use of antipsychotic medication.
