Outcomes of Esophageal Cancer after Esophagectomy in the Era of Early Injection Laryngoplasty.

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
(1) Background: severe weight loss was reported to be related to unilateral vocal fold paralysis (UVFP) after esophagectomy and could thus impair survival. Concomitant radical lymph node dissection along the recurrent laryngeal nerve during esophageal cancer surgery is controversial, as it might induce UVFP. Early intervention for esophagectomy-related UVFP by administering intracordal injections of temporal agents has recently become popular. This study investigated the survival outcomes of esophagectomy for esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) after the introduction of early injection laryngoplasty (EIL). (2) Methods: a retrospective review of patients with ESCC after curative-intent esophagectomy was conducted in a tertiary referral medical center. The necessity of EIL with hyaluronic acid was comprehensively discussed for all symptomatic UVFP patients. The survival outcomes and related risk factors of ESCC were evaluated. (3) Results: among the cohort of 358 consecutive patients who underwent esophagectomy for ESCC, 42 (11.7%) showed postsurgical UVFP. Twenty-nine of them received office-based EIL. After EIL, the glottal gap area, maximum phonation time and voice outcome survey showed significant improvement at one, three and six months measurements. The number of lymph nodes in the resected specimen was higher in those with UVFP than in those without UVFP (30.1 ± 15.7 vs. 24.6 ± 12.7,
