Association of an electromyographic tube for severe postoperative laryngeal edema and reintubation in neurosurgery: a retrospective study.
Article in Journal of anesthesia, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
purposeAn electromyographic (EMG) tube is sometimes used for vagal nerve monitoring during neurosurgery. Some characteristics of an EMG tube are different from those of a normal endotracheal tube. Although postoperative laryngeal edema (PLE) may occur and reintubation may be required in some patients in whom an EMG tube is used, its relevance to these events has not been investigated in detail. Our goal was to determine the relevance of an EMG tube to the development of PLE and the need for reintubation.
methodsA retrospective study was conducted in 900 patients after neurosurgery from 2012 to 2018. Severe PLE occurrence or the requirement for postoperative reintubation were compared between the EMG tube (E) group and the Normal tube (N) group, using a propensity score (PS) matching analysis
resultsAfter PS matching, severe PLE incidence (n = 2/20, 10.0%) in the E group was significantly higher than that (0/80, 0%) in the N group. There was no significant difference in the incidence of reintubation between the E group (1/20, 5.0%) and the N group (0/80, 0%).
conclusionElectromyographic (EMG) tube use was significantly associated with higher incidence of severe PLE.
