Choice of Aspiration Prevention Surgery for Patients With Neuromuscular Disorders: Report of Three Cases.
Article in Frontiers in surgery, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
Dysphagia, one of the major complications of neuromuscular diseases such as Parkinson's disease and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), decreases quality of life and may lead to malnutrition or aspiration pneumonia. Although recent reports have suggested that surgical aspiration prevention improves quality of life and enables oral intake, the selection of appropriate aspiration prevention techniques has rarely been discussed. In this report, we present the cases of three patients with neuromuscular diseases who underwent surgical aspiration prevention; we selected the surgical techniques based on analysis of the dysphagia mechanisms, disease progression, and general condition in each case. Case 1 was a 55-year-old man with multiple system atrophy (MSA) and presented with dysphagia associated with insufficient upper esophageal sphincter (UES) relaxation. We performed central-part laryngectomy, which was able to improve UES relaxation. Case 2 was a 79-year-old man with progressive supranuclear palsy who presented with respiratory disorder and dysphagia. Glottic closure under local anesthesia was selected because he also had acute hepatobiliary dysfunction and methicillin-resistant
