Reconstruction of the Recurrent Laryngeal Nerve Using an Artificial Nerve Conduit for Thyroid Cancer: A Case Report.
Article in Cureus, 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
The patient was a woman in her 40s who was aware of her hoarseness and was referred to our hospital. Right vocal cord paralysis was observed, and a diagnosis of papillary thyroid cancer (cT4aN1bM0) was made based on imaging tests. Total thyroidectomy (TT) and right neck dissection (ND) were performed. The right recurrent nerve, which was invaded by the tumor, was also resected, and nerve reconstruction was performed using an artificial nerve conduit (ANC). ANC can be used for nerve reconstruction in the same way as conventional autologous tissue, and there have been no reports of postoperative deterioration of language function. We have not found any reports of the use of the ANC for the reconstruction of the recurrent laryngeal nerve outside Japan, and we believe that further reports, as well as long-term follow-up and accumulation of cases, are necessary in the future.
