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

Objective: To describe a new surgical technique called Methods: Retrospective analysis performed on 110 patients undergoing TL and voice prosthesis (VP) primary placement, divided into "stapler group" and "no-stapler group". The two groups were compared in terms of pharyngocutaneous fistula (PCF) incidence and events related to voice rehabilitation (hypertonicity, voice quality, complications related to VP). Results: No statistically significant difference (p > 0.05) was found in "stapler" and "no-stapler" groups analysing the incidence of PCF, the percentages of patients who developed hypertonicity and experienced complications in the use and management of the VP. Regarding the vocal quality, a Quality of Voice index of "good" was found in similar percentages of patients in the two groups. Stratifying the sample, no significant differences emerged between "stapler" Conclusions: The new technique allows to exploit, without any additional risk, the potential of stapler and primary VP placement.
