Pharyngocutaneous Fistula Following Primary Total Laryngectomy: a Meta-analysis.
Review in Indian journal of surgical oncology, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
Pharyngocutaneous fistula (PCF) is the most common complication which significantly increases morbidity. High-level evidence is lacking that determines the PCF rates in the primary laryngectomy. The main objective of this study was to systematically identify the factors leading to the PCF formation in primary laryngectomy. Human studies reporting at least one risk factor for developing PCF in patients undergoing primary total laryngectomy for laryngeal cancer were included. PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane databases were searched for the data extraction. Risk of bias assessment tool for non-randomized trial tool was used.
