Three experimental articles with a randomized controlled trial (RCT) design were included in this study. Based on related results, it is known that CTAR has an effect on reducing aspiration rate (SMD = -1.03; 95% CI -1.72 – -0.35) and it is known that CTAR has an effect on increasing oral intake (SMD = 0.82; 95% CI 0.03 – 1.61) .
