Intermittent neural monitoring of the recurrent laryngeal nerve in surgery for recurrent goiter.
Review in Gland surgery, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Reoperative thyroid surgery is still challenging even for skilled surgeons, and is associated with a higher incidence of complications, such as hypoparathyroidism and recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) palsy. Displacement of the RLN, scar tissue from previous neck surgery and difficulty in maintaining good hemostasis are risk factors in reoperations. The prevalence of RLN injury in reoperative thyroid surgery ranges as high as 12.5% for transient injury and up to 3.8% for permanent injury. Bilateral paresis can also occur during reoperations, and is a dangerous complication influencing the quality of life, sometimes requiring tracheostomy. RLN identification is the gold standard during thyroidectomy, and the use of intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM) can be a valuable adjunct to visual identification. This technique can be used to identify the RLN and the external branch of the superior laryngeal nerve (EBSLN), both of which are standardized procedures. The aim of this review was to evaluate the use of intermittent neural monitoring of the RLN in surgery for recurrent goiter, and to assess the prevalence of RLN injury while using IONM reported in the current literature.
