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

purpose of reviewThis review examines challenges in post-stroke dysphagia management, including access to swallowing imaging, enteral feeding decisions, and barriers to reassessment and rehabilitation. It evaluates how healthcare systems and practice patterns influence swallowing outcomes and stroke recovery. RECENT

findingsRecent literature emphasizes that post-stroke dysphagia is a dynamic condition requiring longitudinal management rather than a temporary acute complication. Evidence supports validated dysphagia screening followed by clinical swallowing evaluation and swallowing imaging for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning. Studies highlight variability in gastrostomy tube practices, post-acute access to swallowing imaging, continuity of care, and the psychosocial burden of oral restriction and feeding decisions after stroke. Dysphagia management systems remain fragmented, contributing to inconsistent diagnosis, reassessment, access to intervention, and prolonged unnecessary oral intake restrictions. Future efforts should prioritize rehabilitation pathways that support recovery-oriented dysphagia management.
