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

Xanthan gum-based thickeners are commonly used to treat dysphagic patients. Their rheological properties, such as shear-thinning, extension, and thixotropy, contribute to swallowing safety. However, the influence of rheological variations on swallowing dynamics remains unclear. This study investigated the impact of variations in the rheological properties of xanthan gum-based thickeners on swallowing dynamics, specifically tongue pressure, suprahyoid muscle activity, and swallowing sounds. Shear rheology, extensional viscosity, and 3-interval thixotropy tests were conducted on three commercial thickener solutions standardized to a 400 mPa·s viscosity at a 50 s
