Two-handed tying technique in vocal fold mucosa microsuture for the treatment of Reinke's edema.
Article in European archives of oto-rhino-laryngology : official journal of the European Federation of Oto-Rhino-Laryngological Societies (EUFOS) : affiliated with the German Society for Oto-Rhino-Laryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 3 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
backgroundRemoval of Reinke's edema may result in moderate to large-sized mucosal defect on the vocal fold, which heals by secondary intention. Microsuturing this defect may lead to primary wound healing with fastened recovery and less scar, but costs extra time and effort. Exploring methods that can shorten microsuture time is helpful for the wider application of this technology. STUDY
designRetrospective.
methods57 patients with Reinke's edema, who were admitted from November 2010 to June 2018, were enrolled as research subjects for the retrospective analysis. 27 patients were the knot pusher group (from November 2010 to March 2015), and 30 patients were the two-handed tying group (from April 2015 to June 2018). Evaluation indicators include the number of knots, the average time for suturing and tying the knot for each patient, and the occurrence of complications, subjective and objective voice assessments.
resultsAll patients underwent successful operation. The average time for making knots in the knot pusher group and two-handed tying group was 668.40 ± 173.73 s and 328.73 ± 121.0 s, respectively, and there was a statistically significant difference between the two groups (p < 0.001). No significant difference was noted in the mucosal avulsion, overall incidence of complications between the groups, and no significant difference was found between the two groups in terms of the preoperative and 3-month postoperative subjective and objective indicators.
conclusionMicrosuturing of Reinke's edema microflaps using the two-handed tying technique can achieve the similar effect with the knot pusher method, and save operation time while the surgeon is well trained. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: 4.
