Patient tolerance of laryngeal electromyography: a single-center study.
Observational study in Journal of medicine and life, 2026. 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
This observational single-center study, conducted from 2021 to 2024, evaluated patient tolerance of laryngeal electromyography (LEMG) using a standardized post-procedural questionnaire completed by 97 patients undergoing LEMG for suspected laryngeal neuromuscular dysfunction. After the procedure, patients completed a structured questionnaire designed to assess procedural tolerance across five domains: overall perception, pain intensity (visual analogue scale [VAS]), anxiety, cooperation, and post-procedural discomfort. A total tolerance score (range 0-21) was calculated for each patient. We additionally analyzed the correlation between tolerance scores and specific patient variables, including age, sex, and body mass index (BMI). Based on the total tolerance score, 32 patients (32.99%) reported excellent tolerance, 33 (34.02%) good tolerance, 9 (9.28%) poor tolerance, and 3 (3.09%) very poor tolerance. Female patients demonstrated a significantly better tolerance than male patients. No significant association was observed between tolerance score and age or BMI. No significant discomfort affecting swallowing/breathing, or voice, or any important external bleeding was reported. LEMG is generally well tolerated when performed using a standardized technique. Patient tolerance varies between individuals and appears to be influenced more by subjective factors. The structured questionnaire proved useful and provides a more extensive assessment of LEMG tolerability in clinical practice. However, because this is a single-center study, further research is needed to validate this tolerance questionnaire.
