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

backgroundOur aim is to evaluate the use of laryngeal adductor reflex (LAR) for posterior fossa and brainstem surgeries in conjunction with current intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM) techniques. CASE DESCRIPTION: The patient is a 62-year-old woman who complained of decreased hearing on her left side, dizziness, and left facial palsy. After proper investigation, she was found to have a left vestibular schwannoma. She was scheduled for the left retrosigmoid approach and electrodes embedded on the surface of the endotracheal tube were inserted to monitor for LAR. Preoperative baseline monitoring was recorded. During intraoperative resection of tumor, a significant bilateral amplitude response decrease of the LAR was noted, along with left side decrease in vocal muscle motor evoked potential amplitude responses and bradycardia. Following the LAR event, owed to numerous other IONM changes, surgery was terminated to avoid any complications.

conclusionLAR is an integral tool to constantly monitor vagus nerve function that can be used in combination with other IONM modalities during lower brainstem and posterior fossa surgeries. We advocate the IONM use of LAR in brainstem surgeries.
