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
aimTo investigate the independent risk factors of dysphagia after stroke, and to evaluate the clinical improvement of standardized swallowing function training.
methodsThree hundred stroke patients admitted from January 2023 to January 2025 were enrolled, of whom 142 presented with dysphagia. All patients underwent videofluoroscopic swallowing study (VFSS), Risk factors, including age, muscle strength, and National Institute of Health stroke scale (NIHSS) score, were assessed by univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis. Patients with dysphagia received multimodal swallowing training (neuromuscular electrical stimulation, tongue muscle resistance training, and cold stimulation) once daily for 4 weeks. Swallowing improvement was evaluated using water swallowing test (WST). Patient compliance and satisfaction were recorded.
resultsVFSS score, upper esophageal sphincter (UES) openness, pharyngeal cavity constriction (PCR), age, muscle strength ≤ 3, and NIHSS ≥ 10 were identified as independent risk factors for dysphagia (P < 0.05). The overall effective rate of swallowing function training for dysphagia was 92.25%. Following intervention, the Standardized Swallowing Assessment (SSA) score decreased from 36.85 ± 5.67 to (24.56 ± 3.40), while WST grade reduced from (3.96 ± 0.83) to (1.74 ± 0.73), and VFSS parameters showed significant improvements in swallowing coordination. The overall compliance rate of the patients was 87.32%. Patient satisfaction rate was 92.96%, and the incidence of adverse reactions was 9.15%.
conclusionThe multimodal swallowing training can preliminarily improve swallowing function. However, given the single-center, uncontrolled design, and the potential influence of spontaneous recovery, large-scale randomized controlled trials are warranted to confirm these findings.
