Intraoperative Measurement of Endotracheal Tube Cuff Pressure and Its Change During Surgery in Correlation With Recurrent Laryngeal Nerve Palsies, Hoarseness, and Dysphagia After Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion: A Prospective Randomized Controlled Trial.
Article in Global spine journal, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
STUDY
designProspective randomized controlled trial.
objectivesAdjustment of endotracheal tube cuff pressure (ETCP) in anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) may influence the incidence of complications such as recurrent laryngeal nerve palsy (RLNP), hoarseness, and dysphagia.
methodsThe prospective randomized controlled trial was designed to investigate the influence of ETCP on the incidence of postoperative complications. All eligible patients underwent vocal cord examination before and after ACDF and were randomized into a control group (CG) and intervention group (IG). Endotracheal tube cuff pressure was passively monitored in CG, and in IG, it was maintained at 20 mmHg. Outcomes were evaluated during hospitalization and during follow-up.
resultsA total of 98 patients were randomized, each group consisted of 49 patients. Statistical analysis showed that gender and age did not influence the incidence of complications. In CG, duration of retractor placement and extent of approach significantly impacted the occurrence of complications. The incidence of postoperative RLNP was 8.2% in IG and 12.2% in CG, hoarseness and dysphonia were present in 18.4% in IG and in 37.5% in CG, and dysphagia in 20.8% in IG and in 22.5% in CG. Hoarseness was significantly present more in CG (
conclusionsUnregulated ETCP can lead to a significantly higher incidence of hoarseness; however, its improvement rate is 100%. The early postoperative complication rate was higher in CG, and after one year, 1 patient had RLNP and 1 patient had dysphagia.
