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

objectiveTo summarize and compare current common treatments in recurrent laryngeal nerve injury (RLNI). In addition, we introduced nerve tissue engineering technology in RLNI animal models. This review is a comprehensive summary of current therapies for unilateral RLNI.

backgroundRLNI is a common complication in thyroid surgery. Although preoperative imaging and intraoperative nerve monitoring are widely applied, some damage to nerves is still inevitable. Currently, advances in nerve repair and regeneration have been made, but relatively few studies have focused on RLNI. In this review, we summarized and compared current common treatments in RLNI.

methodsWe searched the literature on PubMed and Web of Science, and chose studies about RLNI in thyroid surgery. Keywords included the following terms: "recurrent laryngeal nerve regeneration", "injection laryngoplasty", "type I thyroplasty", "arytenoid adduction", and "nerve tissue engineering technology". Only English language studies were included. In the section on nerve tissue engineering technology, we described the application in detail in the table below.

conclusionsCurrently, the majority of treatments could obtain different effects to some extent, but there are still shortcomings that need to be overcome further overcome. Therefore, potential exploration such as nerve tissue engineering technology is worthy of attention.
