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
Objective: To observe alterations in head-neck posture and hyoid kinematics in patients with stroke and aspiration risk. Design: A prospective observational study. Setting: Hospital inpatient unit. Participants: A total of 24 patients (N=24) with stroke were included in this study: 12 patients with high aspiration risk (7 men and 5 women) aged 62-77 years (median=72.50; IQR, 64.00-74.00) and 12 patients with low aspiration risk (8 men and 4 women) aged 50-80 years (median=66.00; IQR, 58.25-71.25). Interventions: Not applicable. Main Outcome Measures: Head-neck posture was assessed by craniovertebral angle (CVA), coronal C2-C7 Cobb angle, and cervical range of motion (CROM). Hyoid kinematics were evaluated via anterior horizontal displacement, superior horizontal displacement, and motion duration. Results: Compared with the low aspiration risk group, the high aspiration risk group exhibited a significantly smaller CVA and reduced CROM, along with diminished hyoid displacement ( Conclusions: This study observed variations in head-neck posture and hyoid kinematics in patients with stroke and aspiration risk and found positive correlations between them. Our results suggest that abnormal head-neck posture may be a relevant factor influencing swallowing function, and indicate new strategies and insights for patients with stroke.
