Improving classification of the external branch of the superior laryngeal nerve with neural monitoring: a research appraisal and narrative review.
Review in Gland surgery, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
objectiveTo review the published literature on external branch of superior laryngeal nerve (EBSLN) neural monitoring and propose a new EBSLN classification system using intraoperative neural monitoring (IONM).
backgroundThe injury rate of the external branch of the superior laryngeal nerve (EBSLN) in thyroid surgery is 0-58%. Symptoms of EBSLN injury are not consistent, and patients often complain of modification of the voice timbre with the preservation of vocal cord function. Standards for the diagnosis of EBSLN injury are lacking.
methodsThe PubMed database was searched using the terms 'External branch of the superior laryngeal nerve' and 'Intraoperative neuromonitoring' from 2010 through March 2020.
conclusionsThis paper reviewed the anatomy of the EBSLN, the diagnosis and treatment of injury, and the application of IONM in the EBSLN. The traditional EBSLN classification method was analyzed and compared with our new classification method. The diagnosis of EBSLN injury is a problem that still needs to be resolved. For anatomic classifications of the EBSLN, we found that the conventional classification systems may not accurately reflect the real status of the EBSLN and the surgical risks that may occur intraoperatively. Using IONM, we developed an EBSLN classification method that was consistent with conventional diagnosis and treatments and can be widely and easily utilized during surgery.
