1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Neurological and neurophysiological knowledge of neuromuscular diseases is combined in neurolaryngology with experience from laryngology. Laryngeal electromyography (LEMG) is the most important diagnostic and prognostic tool in neurolaryngology. It can be combined with diagnostic electrostimulation. Interest in LEMG today extends beyond the thyroarytenoid muscle to all accessible laryngeal muscles. LEMG should be performed and interpreted according to a standardized protocol. Main applications of LEMG are confirmation, topodiagnostic and prognostic assessment of vocal fold paralysis. It is possible to differentiate fresh from old recurrent laryngeal nerve lesions as well as mechanical vocal fold fixations from paralysis. Needle guidance for botulinum toxin injections in spasmodic dysphonia and for augmentation laryngoplasty can be supported by LEMG, but also by laryngeal ultrasound. The timing of therapy for temporary and permanent augmentations, thyroplasty and reinnervation surgery may be better defined with experience from neurolaryngology. The use of diagnostic neurostimulation can reveal any remaining active movement potential of a vocal fold and thus help identify candidates for future laryngeal pacemaker treatments. Other topics in neurolaryngology include spasmodic dysphonia and underlying neurological diseases such as stroke, central vocal fold paralysis, essential tremor and Parkinson's disease. Laryngoscopic, clinical and LEMG characteristics of these diseases are presented.
