A Neural Integrity Monitor Electromyography Endotracheal Tube Causes More Severe Postoperative Sore Throat Than a Standard Endotracheal Tube in Adults: A Prospective Cohort Study.
Article in World journal of surgery, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundThis study aimed at figuring out the different effects of a neural integrity monitor electromyography endotracheal tube (NIM-EMG-ETT) and a standard endotracheal tube (ETT) on postoperative sore throat (POST).
methodsThis prospective cohort study enrolled 143 patients scheduled to undergo general anesthesia with endotracheal intubation. Patients were allocated into three groups: Group A, non-thyroid surgery with a standard ETT; Group B, thyroid surgery with a standard ETT; Group C, thyroid surgery with a NIM-EMG-ETT. The incidence, the severity and visual analog scale (VAS) of POST were recorded. The incidence and the severity of POST were tested by χ
resultsThe incidences of POST in Group B and Group C were significantly higher than that of Group A at all the time points after extubation (P < 0.001). The incidences of POST in Group C was significantly higher than that in Group B at 8 h, 24 h and 48 h after extubation (89.4% vs. 68.8%, P = 0.014, relative risk (RR) 1.30, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.05-1.61; 89.4% vs. 58.3%, P = 0.001, RR 1.53, 95% CI 1.18-1.98; 76.6% vs. 45.8%, P = 0.002, RR 1.67, 95% CI 1.18-2.36). Moreover, there was a significant higher VAS of POST and more serious POST with Group C than with Group B.
conclusionsA NIM-EMG-ETT may induce higher incidence of POST and more serious POST than a standard ETT. TRAIL REGISTRATION: Chinese Clinical Trail Registry ( http://www.chictr.org.cn/index.aspx , ChiCTR2200058896, 2022-4-18).
