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

Background: To quantify the association between the free distal segment length of the internal carotid artery (FDS-ICA) and permanent cranial nerve injury (p-CNI) following carotid body tumor (CBT) resection. Methods: This study is a case-control study. We surveyed 109 consecutive patients who underwent CBT resection between June 2015 and June 2020 at our single center. A total of 89 patients met the inclusion criteria and were selected for analysis. The FDS-ICA was measured by image post-processing software for computed tomography angiography (CTA). Postoperative p-CNI complications were evaluated using comprehensive statistical approaches. Results: The cohort was divided into 2 groups depending on the presence of p-CNI, namely the p-CNI group (n=17) and the non-CNI group (n=79). The average FDS-ICA of patients with p-CNI complications was shorter than that of those without p-CNI complications (P<0.001). For every 1 mm increase in FDS-ICA, there was an associated decrease of 8% in the risk of p-CNI (0.92, 95% CI: 0.85 to 0.98, P<0.05). Threshold effect analysis of the FDS-ICA on p-CNI identified that the FDS-ICA was 28.7 (95% CI: 23.8 to 30.9) mm. Conclusions: The results of this study revealed a significant independent association between FDS-ICA and permanent postoperative cranial nerve injury complications of CBTs. Further study is warranted to confirm these results in a larger patient cohort.
