Clinical validation of the RaDI oropharyngeal dysphagia screening tool in older adults.
Article in CoDAS, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
purposeTo identify and verify the accuracy of oropharyngeal dysphagia screening in older patients hospitalized or undergoing outpatient follow-up, and to associate the presence of dysphagia with the main comorbidities in this population.
methodsThis is a cross-sectional study with older patients hospitalized in wards or seeking outpatient consultations at a public referral hospital in Northeastern Brazil. The study applied the Oropharyngeal Dysphagia Screening in Older Adults (RaDI), as well as fiberoptic endoscopic evaluation of swallowing (FEES) in a subgroup of patients.
resultsThe instrument identified a significant number of older patients with signs suggestive of oropharyngeal dysphagia and showed a consistent association with the reference examination used and an association with neurological, pulmonary, and cardiological comorbidities.
conclusionRaDI is a practical and useful tool for dysphagia screening in older people, showing relevant clinical agreement with FEES and potential for application in hospital and outpatient settings.
