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

objectiveThe purpose was to investigate the effects of respiratory-swallow coordination training with bimodal signal biofeedback on swallowing function in patients with post-stroke dysphagia.

methodsPost-stroke dysphagia Patients were randomly assigned to either the control group or the experimental group. The control group received conventional rehabilitation, while the experimental group underwent additional respiratory-swallow coordination training based on biofeedback. The training protocol consisted of three phases, conducted at an intensity of 30 min/day, 6 days/week, for two consecutive weeks. Outcome measures included the Functional Oral Intake Scale (FOIS) score, the Rosenbek Penetration-Aspiration Scale (PAS) score, respiratory-swallow coordination, and videofluoroscopic swallowing study temporal and kinematic parameter. Assessments were conducted at baseline, post-treatment, and at a one-month follow-up.

resultsThirty patients were enrolled. Both groups showed significant improvement in FOIS scores from baseline to both two-week post-treatment and one-month follow-up (

conclusionBimodal signal biofeedback-based respiratory-swallow coordination training can effectively improve respiratory-swallow coordination and swallowing function in patients with post-stroke dysphagia.
