Swallowing rehabilitation in aspiration pneumonia: A scoping review of compensatory strategies and exercise training effectiveness.
Review in Journal of general and family medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
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 (AP) is a major concern in aging populations. AP management requires a comprehensive, multimodal approach-notably including swallowing rehabilitation, oral care, and risk factor management. This scoping review evaluates evidence on swallowing rehabilitation for AP, which consists of compensatory strategies and exercise training. A systematic literature search identified 23 eligible studies from 522 articles; four directly investigated swallowing rehabilitation in AP, while 19 focused on patients with dysphagia due to stroke, neurological diseases, or aging. Two large-scale retrospective AP-specific studies demonstrated a correlation between rehabilitation and improved oral intake but did not evaluate AP prevention or specify effective components. In one study, water jelly ingestion reduced AP incidence. Another study demonstrated the benefits of texture-modified diets in reducing aspiration risk, although AP prevention was not assessed. While clinically compensatory strategies remain foundational, current evidence does not support routine exercise-based interventions for AP prevention. Further high-quality studies are needed.
