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

purposeThe main objective of this scoping review was to describe the characteristics found in the FEES protocols in adults with neurogenic oropharyngeal dysphagia.

methodsFollowing the Joanna Briggs Institute and PRISMA-ScR guidelines, an extensive search was conducted in six databases: Wiley Cochrane Library, MEDLINE, EMBASE, CINAHL, PsycINFO, and LILACS. The search was carried out without restriction of study design, publication date, or language. Two blind independent raters were appointed to select, review, and extract all content according to a priori exclusion criteria. A third rater was also appointed to resolve the disagreement. Data extraction included study characteristics, professional expertise, and FEES performance details.

resultsA total of 6,033 abstracts were screened, leading to the inclusion of 115 publications. Most studies were conducted in the United States, Germany, Japan, Brazil, and Italy. Speech-language pathologists and otorhinolaryngologists were the most frequently cited professionals performing FEES. Information about the FEES protocol and its performance varied. The description of food consistencies, initial consistency trials, use of dye, and volume was more frequently reported but lacked consensus.

conclusionThe FEES protocol applied to the adult population with oropharyngeal dysphagia does not have a uniform description and performance.
