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

BACKGROUND AND

aimElucidating the mechanism of recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) injuries through intraoperative electromyographic (EMG) and laryngeal examination approaches may deepen our knowledge regarding its prevention strategies. To date, no studies have been reported on the mechanism of RLN injury caused by endoscopic thyroidectomy via bilateral areola approach (ETBAA).

methodsBoth intraoperative EMG profiles and postoperative laryngeal examination were used to investigate the mechanisms of RLN injury and compare the safety aspects between ETBAA and open thyroidectomy approach (OTA).

resultsThis study examined 1420 nerves at risk. The mean follow-up period was 17 ± 4 (range 6-48) months. The incidence of vocal cord paralysis was 4.1% (59/1420). The number of cases with decreased EMG signals and vocal cord palsy was higher in ETBAA group than in OTA group (P < 0.05). The left RLNs in ETBAA group were at higher risk compared to the right nerves.

conclusionsThe results of the current study indicate that ETBAA exhibits higher risk of RLN injury. The topic includes a video.
