Efficacy of intraoperative recurrent laryngeal neuromonitoring during surgery for esophageal cancer.
Article in Annals of gastroenterological surgery, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 14 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
aimTo evaluate the efficacy of intraoperative neuromonitoring in identifying recurrent laryngeal nerves and decreasing the incidence of nerve injury in minimally invasive esophagectomies for esophageal cancers.
methodsA total of 167 minimally invasive esophagectomy patients were retrospectively reviewed. They were divided into intraoperative neuromonitoring (n = 84) and no intraoperative neuromonitoring (n = 83) groups, based on whether or not intraoperative neuromonitoring was used during surgery. We compared short-term surgical outcomes and incidence of recurrent laryngeal nerve palsy between the two groups before and after propensity score matching. The association between the loss of signal and recurrent laryngeal nerve palsy was also evaluated.
resultsThe incidence of recurrent laryngeal nerve palsy (grade 2 and higher) was lower in the intraoperative neuromonitoring group than in the no intraoperative neuromonitoring group (6.0% vs 21.2%,
conclusionIntraoperative neuromonitoring is useful in identifying recurrent laryngeal nerves and may aid in reducing the incidence of recurrent laryngeal nerve injury during esophageal surgery.
