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

The swallowing function is a major goal of reconstruction for the patients who had hypopharyngeal cancer and received total pharyngolaryngectomy with or without voice reconstruction. We would like to share our experience in reconstruction of swallowing function using jejunum, ileocolon, or anterolateral thigh flap for cervical esophagus. In this study, we proposed that the jejunum flap is the most suitable option for restoring swallowing function, owing to its physiological characteristics. A retrospective study was conducted in 36 patients undergoing reconstruction of cervical esophagus with free jejunum flap (7 cases), ileocolon flap (21 cases), or anterolateral flap (8 cases). Esophagography, time required to achieve swallowing of semisolid diet without tube feeding, changes in body weight before and after the surgery, and
