Influence of timing, radiation, and reconstruction on complications and speech outcomes with tracheoesophageal puncture.
Article in Head & neck, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers.
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.
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
backgroundWe evaluated the impact of radiation, reconstruction, and timing of tracheoesophageal puncture (TEP) on complications and speech outcomes.
methodsRetrospective review identified 145 patients who underwent TEP between 2003 and 2007.
resultsNinety-nine patients (68%) had primary and 46 (32%) had secondary TEP, with complications occurring in 65% and 61%, respectively (p = .96). Twenty-nine patients (20%) had major complications (18 primary and 11 secondary; p = .42). Ninety-four patients (65%) had pre-TEP radiation, 39 (27%) post-TEP radiation, and 12 (8%) no radiation. With patients grouped by TEP timing and radiation history, there was no difference in complications, fluency, or TEP use. With mean 4.7-year follow-up, 82% primary and 85% secondary used TEP for primary communication (p = .66). Free-flap patients used TEP more commonly for primary communication after secondary versus primary TEP (90% vs 50%; p = .02).
conclusionPrimary and secondary tracheoesophageal speakers experience similar high rates of complications. Extent of pharyngeal reconstruction, rather than radiation, may be more important in selection of TEP timing. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Head Neck 38: 1765-1771, 2016.
