Feasibility of expiratory muscle strength training to address oropharyngeal dysphagia in a patient living with mixed dementia: A case report.
Article in Journal of Alzheimer's disease reports. 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
Oropharyngeal dysphagia frequently occurs in persons living with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (PLWD) and results in negative health consequences. Strength-based exercises may address swallowing biomechanical impairments. Expiratory muscle strength training (EMST) is an intervention examined in other neurodegenerative populations and has demonstrated promise for improving respiratory muscle strength and airway defense physiologic capacity, potentially improving swallowing safety. We describe a case of a patient with Alzheimer's disease who participated in five consecutive weeks of EMST. We demonstrate that EMST is a feasible intervention for PLWD. Further research should be conducted to assess efficacy and benefit of EMST for PLWD.
