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
aimThis exploratory study analyzes High-Resolution Impedance Manometry (HRIM) data obtained during a phase II rehabilitation trial in laryngectomees at baseline (T0), after six-weeks of resistance-based training (T1), and after eight weeks of rest (T2), exploring its potential value in alaryngeal dysphagia research and clinical practice.
methodsPharyngeal HRIM was combined with videofluoroscopy to evaluate swallowing biomechanics in 17 laryngectomy patients. Parameters included Pharyngeal (Velo-, Meso-, and Hypopharyngeal) Contractile Integrals, Intra-Bolus Pressure, UES Relaxation Time, Maximum Admittance, and Integrated Relaxation Pressure.
resultsNo significant differences were found in the Pharyngeal Contractile Integrals, Intra-Bolus Pressure, Relaxation Time, Maximum Admittance, or Integrated Relaxation Pressure. However, pharyngeal pressures and Maximum Admittance slightly decreased from T0 to T1, and increased at T2 for all consistencies (thin, extremely thick, solid).
conclusionAlaryngeal resistance-based swallowing exercises lead to small, non-significant differences in pharyngeal pressures. HRIM provides valuable insights, but its application for this population remains uncertain.
