Preoperative geniohyoid muscle mass in esophageal cancer patients is associated with swallowing function after esophagectomy.

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
Aim: Dysphagia often develops after esophagectomy. The geniohyoid muscle is involved in swallowing movements, but its significance in esophagectomy patients remains unclear. We investigated the relationship of preoperative geniohyoid muscle mass with post-esophagectomy swallowing function. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 114 patients who underwent esophagectomy and gastric conduit reconstruction for esophageal malignancy. We evaluated preoperative geniohyoid muscle sagittal cross-sectional areas (cm Results: The cross-sectional area was significantly larger in males than in females (3.2 ± 0.7 vs. 2.4 ± 0.5, Conclusion: Preoperative geniohyoid muscle mass, evaluated using neck computed tomography, can predict dysphagia after esophagectomy.
