Evaluation of swallowing function during the perioperative period using fiberoptic endoscopy in a patient with myasthenia gravis: a case report.
Article in JA clinical reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundGeneral anesthesia causes postoperative dysphagia, and myasthenia gravis also impairs swallowing function. Thus, managing general anesthesia in patients with myasthenia gravis requires special attention to swallowing function. Fiberoptic endoscopic evaluation of swallowing (FEES) has the potential to provide precise perioperative assessment and management of swallowing in these patients. CASE PRESENTATION: A 35-year-old woman with myasthenia gravis was scheduled for laparoscopic ileocolic resection. FEES was performed before anesthesia, after extubation, and on postoperative day 1. General anesthesia was performed with endotracheal intubation, and extubation was performed uneventfully. Post-extubation FEES revealed salivary pooling, decreased glottal closure reflex, and redness of right arytenoid, likely caused by the endotracheal intubation and nasogastric tube. However, FEES performed on postoperative day 1 showed improvement of these findings.
conclusionsFEES effectively identified transient swallowing impairments related to intubation and confirmed the absence of dysphagia specific to myasthenia gravis, thereby contributing to safe perioperative care.
