Swallow Reaction Time in Healthy Adults.
Article in Perspectives of the ASHA special interest groups, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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: Swallow onset is commonly characterized by bolus location. Quantifying this swallow event using swallow reaction time (SRT) may further inform swallow assessment, but few studies have established normative reference values for SRT using a large sample size and well-tested, standardized, and validated videofluoroscopic swallow study (VFSS) approach. The purpose of this study was to investigate SRT in a large cohort of healthy adults and the effects of demographic (age, sex) and bolus (viscosity, volume) characteristics on SRT using the Modified Barium Swallow Impairment Profile approach. Method: Archival VFSSs of 195 healthy adults (21-89 years) were analyzed to obtain SRT across seven standardized swallow tasks ranging from thin to extremely thick liquid and a solid. Descriptive statistics were generated for age, sex, viscosity, and volume. Generalized estimating equation models were computed to explore the effects of demographic and bolus characteristics on SRT. Results: Variability in SRT was observed among healthy adults across all swallow tasks. Only viscosity significantly influenced SRT. Specifically, thicker viscosities resulted in longer SRT. Conclusions: Wide variability in SRT was observed in this large cohort of healthy adults across various liquid swallow tasks and a solid task. Thicker viscosities, in particular, yielded longer SRT and should be considered a normal variant. This study further provides normative SRT data related to a commonly used VFSS approach, which clinicians can use as reference values for their patient data.
