Effects of Intraoperative Neural Tunnel in Protecting Recurrent Laryngeal Nerve: Experiences in Open, Trans Breast, and Transoral Endoscopic Thyroidectomy.
Article in Frontiers in oncology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Background: Energy-based devices (EBDs) increase the risks of thermal nerve injuries. This study aimed to introduce a surgical strategy of intraoperative neural tunnel protecting (INTP) for evaluating the effect in reducing the incidence of recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) damage in open, trans breast, and transoral endoscopic thyroidectomy. Methods: INTP strategy was introduced: a tunnel was established and protected by endoscopic gauze along the direction of the nerve. A total of 165, 94, and 200 patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) were to use INTP in respectively open, trans breast, and transoral endoscopic thyroidectomy as the INTP group. Additionally, 150, 95, and 225 patients who received the same methods without INTP were enrolled in the control group. Ipsilateral thyroidectomy or total thyroidectomy, and central compartment dissection were performed on the enrolled patients. Results: Clinicopathologic characteristics, surgical outcomes, and surgical complications were similar between the INTP group and the control group in open, trans breast, and transoral endoscopic thyroidectomy. The incidences of electromyography (EMG) changes in the INTP group were lower as compared to the control group in trans breast endoscopic thyroidectomy ( Conclusions: This was the first instance of the INTP strategy being introduced and was found to be an effective method for protecting the RLN in open, trans breast, and transoral endoscopic thyroidectomy. Additionally, INTP helped protect other important tissues such as the parathyroid glands in transoral endoscopic thyroidectomy as well as in reducing postoperative inflammatory responses.
