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

Dysphagia may be caused by stroke, cranial trauma, head and neck tumor surgery, and neurodegeneration. The overall prevalence of dysphagia in China is 38.7%, which can lead to aspiration pneumonia and malnutrition, increasing mortality rates and prolonging hospitalization. As an independent predictor of death, post-stroke dysphagia mortality ranges from 29% to 37%. Indwelling nasogastric tube feeding is widely used for dysphagic patients, but complications include mucosal bleeding, tumefaction, pneumonia, and acid regurgitation. Intermittent nasogastric tubes are an alternative option, though rarely reported. This paper describes a stroke patient with dysphagia and tracheotomy who received intermittent oroesophageal tube feeding. Notably, epiglottis tumefaction caused by the indwelling nasogastric tube disappeared after switching to intermittent oroesophageal tube feeding, with concurrent improvements in nutritional indicators, gastrointestinal tolerance, and swallowing function. To avoid side effects of indwelling nasogastric tubes in dysphagic patients, intermittent oroesophageal tube feeding deserves clinical consideration.
