Reconstructing Perioperative Patient Education in Head and Neck Surgery.
Article in Laryngoscope investigative otolaryngology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Patients undergoing extirpative oncologic and/or reconstructive head and neck surgery face complex postoperative milestones required for safe discharge. Through this quality improvement project, we evaluated our current practices in perioperative patient education and its impact on 30-day metrics. In this baseline assessment, 15 patients (mean 66 years; 60% male; 80 white; 73% with 12th grade education or higher; 60% undergoing free flap reconstruction) who underwent extensive head and neck reconstruction at a tertiary care institution between August and December 2024 were surveyed. Most (93%) were satisfied with the timing of the information received but suggested additional visual aids and information about various recovery timelines. Preliminary findings from this ongoing quality improvement project reveal a need for more comprehensive perioperative education, particularly regarding support services and side-effect management. In response, we have introduced procedure-specific educational packets and preoperative phone calls to help patients better understand and navigate the recovery process.
