Swallowing behavior response to semi-solid foods with different textural properties in healthy older adults: an open-label randomized crossover trial.

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
Background: Semi-solid foods are widely consumed by older adults, yet the influence of their physical properties on swallowing remains unclear. Objectives: To examine how variations in shape retention and spreadability affect swallowing in adults aged ≥75 years. Design: An open-label randomized crossover trial with two food tests. Setting: Controlled experimental setting. Participants and numbers analyzed: Test 1 enrolled 21 adults and Test 2 enrolled 28; after exclusions, 14 and 16 were analyzed (mean ages 81.6 and 78.6 years). Interventions: Participants ingested three semi-solid foods (P, Q, S) differing in physical properties. Outcomes: Primary outcomes were oral processing time (OPT) and swallowing duration (SD), measured by a neck-worn electronic stethoscope and synchronized video. Secondary outcomes were subjective ratings of swallowing ease and food properties. Medians of five bites were analyzed, and first-fifth bite differences assessed. Results: Subjective ratings differed only in collectability in Test 2. In Test 1, OPT was longer for P than Q (median difference 1.04 s, 95 % CI 0.15-2.04; Harms: None observed. Conclusions: Semi-solid food properties affect swallowing in older adults. Shape retention contributes to distinct swallowing patterns, supporting individualized food selection to promote safe intake. Trial registration: UMIN000053442, UMIN000056840.
