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

We present the case of a 2-year-old male with persistent oropharyngeal dysphagia and recurrent aspiration. Feeding difficulties began in the neonatal period, characterized by coughing, wet cry, choking, and cyanosis during feeds. Multiple hospitalizations followed, and flexible endoscopic evaluation of swallowing (FEES) showed mobile vocal folds and pharyngeal pooling and silent aspiration with various consistencies, alongside absent swallow initiation. Videofluoroscopic swallowing studies (VFSS) demonstrated ongoing penetration and aspiration, with contrast coating both, anterior and posterior tracheal wall during pharyngeal phase, leading to gastrostomy placement. What mechanisms might explain persistent severe dysphagia in this child, and what therapeutic strategies could be considered?
