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

Non-recurrent laryngeal nerve (NRLN) is an anatomic variation seen in about 0.52-0.7% patients, generally on right side. It exits the vagus nerve having a direct route to the larynx, unlike usual recurrent laryngeal nerve, supplying intrinsic laryngeal muscles except cricothyroid. It is sited over left side on extremely rare occasions, that is, 0.04% of the cases. Some cases of NRLN co-exists with aberrant right subclavian artery which courses behind the esophagus, also known as 'arteria lusoria'. Here we present a case of 60-years old patient, diagnosed as goiter presented to us in june 2023 at the department of head and neck surgery at a tertiary care setup of Karachi Pakistan. Intra-operatively, non-recurrent nerve was encountered, whose association was found with arteria lusoria, observed in pre-operative CT-scan. The nerve was saved and no post-operative complications were seen in patient. The association of arteria lusoria in this case emphasize its importance in predicting NRLN via pre-operative imaging techniques which can prevent its injury intra-operatively.
