Incidence and risk factors of dysphagia after cervical laminoplasty.
Observational study in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
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
Dysphagia is a known complication following anterior cervical spine surgery, but it has also been reported after laminoplasty. We sought to determine the incidence of dysphagia following cervical laminoplasty. Prospective, multicenter, observational study of patients who underwent cervical laminoplasty or posterior lumbar spinal surgery between April 2022 and May 2024. We measured clinical characteristics, operative data, radiological parameters, and perioperative visual analog scale (VAS) for neck and throat pain. Dysphagia was assessed using the 10-item Eating Assessment Tool preoperatively and 1 week postoperatively, with new-onset dysphagia defined as a worsening of ≧ 3 points from the preoperative score. There were 79 patients in the cervical group and 89 in the lumbar group. The incidence of new-onset dysphagia was significantly higher in the cervical group (10.1%) than in the lumbar group (2.2%, P = 0.046). Within the cervical group, patients who developed new-onset dysphagia had significantly higher VAS scores for postoperative neck pain and throat pain than those without dysphagia. The incidence of new-onset dysphagia after cervical laminoplasty was significantly higher than that in the lumbar group. Patients who developed new-onset dysphagia had significantly greater postoperative neck and throat pain, suggesting that postoperative pain is associated with the development of new-onset dysphagia.
