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

Recurrent laryngeal nerve palsy is an intrinsic complication of thyroid surgery. Prevention of nerve palsy is considered to be a feature of quality in this very frequently performed operation. Risk factors and prevention strategies are demonstrated and discussed with reference to the current literature. Exact knowledge of the anatomy and possible variants of the track of the recurrent laryngeal nerve as well as its visualization and careful dissection are the cornerstones for nerve preservation. The use of intraoperative neuromonitoring allows preservation of the anatomical structure and functional integrity of the nerve and lesions which are not visible can be detected. Preconditions for correct interpretation are a standardized application and preoperative and postoperative laryngoscopy.
