Risk Factors Associated to Aspiration Pneumonia in Adults and Elderly Patients: A Scoping Review.
Article in Dysphagia, 2026. 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
Aspiration Pneumonia has a significant impact on individuals of all age groups, which can result in morbidity and a substantial reduction in the quality of life. The objective of this study was to map, through a scoping review, the risk factors associated to aspiration pneumonia in adult and elderly patients. Mapping and analyzing these factors are essential to understand and manage aspiration pneumonia, contributing significantly to the advancement of knowledge about this clinical condition. This scoping review is based on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis Extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR) checklist. EMBASE, LILACS, PubMed/Medline, Scopus, Web of Science, and gray literature databases were systematically searched. The acronym 'PCCS' was used to consider the eligibility of studies for this review, where: P = Population (≥ 18 years of age), C = Concept (risk factors), C = Context (aspiration pneumonia), S = Studies (observational, interventional, cross-sectional studies, randomized, non-randomized and pseudo-randomized clinical studies). There were no restrictions regarding gender, ethnicity of individuals, language of the studies and date of publication. A comprehensive literature search was conducted using six electronic databases: EMBASE, Latin American and Caribbean Health Sciences Literature (LILACS), Livivo, PubMed/Medline, Scopus, and Web of Science. In addition, gray literature was also explored through AshaWire, Google Scholar, Open Gray, and ProQuest. There were no restrictions regarding gender, ethnicity, language, time of publication, or diagnosis. A total of 3,183 articles were identified, including results from the gray literature. After screening, 56 articles were included. Significant risk factors related to aspiration pneumonia were identified. The risks include aspects such as dysphagia, aspiration, nutrition, neurological conditions, malnutrition, dehydration, changes in body mass index, skeletal mass index, mobility, and dependence on activities. Furthermore, hospital institutionalization, including length of stay, endotracheal intubation, and mechanical ventilation, is also associated.
