Non-Surgical Cord Lateralization Using Botulinum Injection for Bilateral Abductor Cord Palsy in Patients of Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma.

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
Bilateral abductor cord palsy occurs in up to 7% of patients undergoing total thyroidectomy. Surgical management using tracheostomy is the treatment of choice for patients with severe respiratory distress but has poor psychosocial acceptance and results in permanent changes in anatomy. Other surgical techniques have poor voice outcomes. We present a case series of patients of bilateral abductor cord palsy post total thyroidectomy for papillary thyroid carcinoma who underwent Botulinum injection into the adductor muscles (Cricothyroid ± Lateral cricoarytenoid) and were able to manage without tracheostomy. Botulinum paralytic toxin could help as a temporary non-surgical measure or as a bridge till spontaneous recovery of nerve function.
