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
Introduction: Stroke-induced dysphagia significantly impacts patients' nutritional status, quality of life, and rehabilitation outcomes. Conventional therapy primarily involves dietary training, while acupuncture and moxibustion have been used in complementary medicine. This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of combining dietary training with acupuncture and moxibustion based on syndrome differentiation in improving dysphagia outcomes in stroke rehabilitation patients. Material and methods: A retrospective cohort study, conducted from June 2021 to December 2023, included 206 stroke patients (aged 40 to 80 years) with stable dysphagia. Patients were divided into two groups: an individual treatment group ( Results: Pre-treatment demographics and clinical characteristics showed no significant differences between groups. Post-treatment results indicated significant improvements in the combination group compared to the individual group across all parameters: nutritional status (triceps skin fold - TSF, middle arm muscle circumference on the healthy side - AMS, hemoglobin - Hb, serum albumin - ALB, serum prealbumin - PA), swallowing function (Kubota test, VFSS scores: higher in combined, Conclusions: Combining dietary training with acupuncture and moxibustion based on syndrome differentiation significantly enhances nutritional status, swallowing function, quality of life, and patient satisfaction among stroke rehabilitation patients with dysphagia, compared to dietary training alone. This integrative approach presents a promising adjunctive therapy for post-stroke dysphagia, warranting further investigation in larger, randomized controlled trials.
