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

Intraoperative complications of neck surgery are uncommon and rarely life-threatening and exact anatomical knowledge and precise dissection are most important for prevention. Anatomical variants (e.g. non-recurrent nerve, extralaryngeal branching) predispose to damage of the recurrent laryngeal nerve. The use of intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM) can prevent bilateral nerve damage but in cases of accidental nerve damage primary reconstruction can improve vocal cord function. Autotransplantation of parathyroid tissue can reduce the rate of hypoparathyroidism but cannot be postulated as a routine measure. Intraoperative bleeding can usually be well controlled and greater danger for the patient emanates from early postoperative bleeding for which many techniques (clip, ligature, vessel sealing) can be employed for prevention. Lesions of the thoracic duct can be controlled by clip, ligation or stitch. Smaller lesions of the trachea and esophagus can be secured with direct suture or muscle flap plasty. In cases of larger lesions plastic reconstruction or organ replacement can be necessary.
