[Integrity of swallowing apparatus-past, present, and future].
Review in HNO, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundSwallowing is one of the most complex movement patterns. The integrity of the epithelial lining is essential.
objectiveWhich surgical techniques were developed at the beginnings of modern surgery and what methods are now available to maintain/reconstitute the integrity of the swallowing apparatus? MATERIALS AND
methodsThis study comprises a selective literature search in early operation manuals and online archives, with incorporation of the authors' own experience.
resultsUp until the 1950s, only very limited techniques were available to reconstruct the epithelial lining. Microvascular reanastomosed grafts were the game changer for reconstructive surgery, enabling reconstitution of the swallowing apparatus in primary surgery but also in challenging secondary interventions after insufficient or complicated primary therapy.
conclusionThe need for anatomical and functional rehabilitation by reconstructive surgery is as pertinent as ever. Particularly in the oncological context, improved early detection and novel local treatment modalities could minimize treatment-associated damage to swallowing.
