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

The aim of this study was to assess pharyngeal swallowing impairments in thyroidectomy patients and to delineate the contributory kinematic components. Forty consecutive patients (mean age = 47.33 years) and fourteen age- and sex-matched heathy adult volunteers (mean age = 42.64 years) participated in this study. A videofluoroscopic swallowing study (VFSS) was performed 1 day prior to surgery, and at 1 week and 3 months post-surgery. VFSS images were evaluated using the Modified Barium Swallowing Impairment Profile (MBSImp). Kinematic and temporal aspects of swallowing were characterized by measurement of maximum hyoid and laryngeal excursion, pharyngeal transit duration, laryngeal response duration (LRD), and laryngeal closure duration at each three time-points. At 1 week post-surgery, only pharyngeal impairment was significantly deteriorated than pre-surgery (p = 0.001). However, at 3 months, a significant improvement was observed to pre-surgery level (p = 0.01). Post-surgery, maximum hyoid excursion was significantly reduced in patients compared controls (p = 0.001). Although the maximal distance of the hyoid and the laryngeal excursion was shorter than before surgery, laryngeal excursion at all three time-points was similar to that of controls. At all three time-points, LRD was significantly longer in patients than in controls (p = 0.01). Following thyroidectomy, pharyngeal aspects of swallowing as measured by the MBSImp and kinematic aspects of swallowing were reduced with incomplete recovery at 3 months. These exploratory data may guide decision regarding management of pharyngeal swallowing impairment with patients undergoing total thyroidectomy.
