Proprieties of adhesive surface arrays to thyroid cartilage for recurrent laryngeal nerve monitoring.
Article in Annals of translational medicine, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
backgroundTo investigate the optimal placement and size of adhesive thyroid cartilage electrodes (ATCEs) placed on the thyroid cartilage in porcine models for evaluating recurrent laryngeal nerve function compared with the other 3 recording electrode types.
methodsFour Meishan piglets were used for this study. The electromyogram (EMG) signal stability was detected by intraoperative nerve monitoring (IONM). Best location and size of ATCEs were detected, and the EMG signals from each were compared. Latency data were tested by stimulating the different nerve points, and 6 manipulations of the trachea and endotracheal tube (ET) were applied to test the stability of EMG signals. ET electrodes, needle electrodes, and transcutaneous recording electrodes were simultaneously tested with comparison to ATCEs.
resultsThe optimal placement locations and sizes of ATCEs were determined. The amplitudes and latencies recorded from the ATCEs were consistent with those of the ET electrodes. More anti-interference was observed with the ATCEs than with the ET electrodes in surgical manipulations. ATCEs could be used during intermittent and continuous monitoring in similar fashion to ET electrodes and needle electrodes.
conclusionsATCEs had consistent monitoring function with ET electrodes and needle electrodes. Feasibility, EMG stability, and optimal location and size of ATCEs for IONM were resolved. The EMG profiles from the ATCEs were more stable during surgical manipulations.
