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

backgroundPostoperative sore throat (POST) is a common complaint after general anaesthesia. The prevalence of POST caused by a neural integrity monitor electromyography endotracheal tube (NIM-EMG-ETT) is high. This study aimed to determine whether ultrasound-guided internal branch of superior laryngeal nerve block (iSLNB) could alleviate POST associated with a NIM-EMG-ETT.

methodsThis randomized controlled trial plans to enroll 182 patients scheduled to undergo general anaesthesia with a NIM-EMG-ETT. Patients will be randomly allocated into the iSLNB group or the control group according to randomized numbers generated by Excel. After induction, patients in the iSLNB group will undergo ultrasound-guided iSLNB with ropivacaine, and patients in the control group will undergo the same procedure with normal saline. The prevalence, severity, visual analogue scale score of POST, and postoperative acoustic analysis will be recorded. DISCUSSION: To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study to evaluate the effect of ultrasound-guided iSLNB with ropivacaine on the mitigation of POST induced by NIM-EMG-ETT. Our study will provide clinical answers to alleviate POST induced by NIM-EMG-ETT. The results of this study may provide a safe method to prevent POST caused by NIM-EMG-ETT.
