The Efficacy of Ultrasound-Guided Superior Laryngeal Nerve Block as an Adjuvant to General Anesthesia during Suspension Laryngoscopy Vocal Cord Polypectomy.
Article in Evidence-based complementary and alternative medicine : eCAM, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT05309174 (The Efficacy of Ultrasound Guided Superior Laryngeal Nerve Block as an Adjuvant to General Anesthesia During Vocal Cord Polypectomy by Laryngoscopy), which is not on this map.

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.

Abstract
Background: In the current study, we assessed the effect of the ultrasound-guided internal branch of the upper laryngeal nerve (USG-guided iSLN) block combined with general anesthesia on perioperative sore throat (POST), cough, hoarseness of voice, intraoperative hemodynamic changes, and the quality of early recovery for the patients undergoing suspension laryngoscopy vocal cord polypectomy (SLVCP). Methods: This was a randomized controlled trail. Eighty patients, aged from 18 to 70 years old, ASA I ∼ II, scheduled for polypectomy of the vocal cord by using a laryngoscope, were randomized into 2 groups ( Results: The QoR-9 scores of patients in group C were lower than those of group S at time points of D1∼D2 ( Conclusion: The study found that the application of ultrasound guided superior laryngeal nerve block combined with general anesthesia for the patients undergoing SLVCP could effectively promote the quality of early recovery. Clinical trial registration: This trial is registered with NCT05309174. The date of registration: March 12th 2021.Trial registry name: The Study of Bilateral Upper Laryngeal Nerve Block for Supporting the Removal of Vocal Cord Polyps Under Laryngoscopy.
