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

backgroundLoss of voice is the consequence of laryngectomy most disturbing for the patient. As such, the notion of performing a laryngectomy has always been directly linked to the possibility of voice rehabilitation. The multitude of different technical and surgical approaches pays testimony to the problems associated with rehabilitation of speech and swallowing after laryngectomy.

methodsScientific online search engines and library facilities were used to search for recent publications and historical medical documents. Important works were identified and summarized.

resultsFour different categories of voice rehabilitation can be identified: external (electrical) devices, esophageal speech, and tracheoesophageal shunts either with or without fistula valves/voice prosthesis. During the past three decades, fistula valves/voice prostheses have become the state of the art, with some patients still using esophageal speech or external devices as a back-up method in case of prosthesis failure.
