Diagnosis and treatment of oropharyngeal dysphagia after total laryngectomy with or without pharyngoesophageal reconstruction: Systematic review.
Synthesis in Head & neck, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 23 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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
backgroundThis systematic review qualitatively summarizes the current literature on diagnosis and treatment of oropharyngeal dysphagia (OD) after total laryngectomy (TLE).
methodsElectronic databases PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library were used. Two independent reviewers carried out the literature search and assessed the methodological quality of the included studies using a critical appraisal tool.
resultsForty-four articles met the inclusion criteria. Of these, 35 studies were on diagnosis, four on therapy, and five on both diagnosis and treatment of OD following TLE. Study aims, swallowing-assessment methods, and main findings of the included studies were summarized and presented.
conclusionsThe reviewers found heterogeneous outcomes and serious methodological limitations, which prevented us from pooling data to identify trends that would assist in designing best clinical practice protocols for OD following TLE. Further research should focus on several remaining gaps in our knowledge on diagnosis and treatment interventions for OD following TLE.
