Navigating Unanticipated Non-recurrent Laryngeal Nerves in Thyroid Surgery: Strategies for Preservation and Anticipation.

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
BACKGROUND/
aimThis study aimed to investigate the incidence, anatomical characteristics, and clinical implications of non-recurrent laryngeal nerves (NRLNs) discovered during thyroid surgeries and autopsies. PATIENTS AND
methodsA total of 2,215 thyroid surgeries and 194 autopsies were reviewed, identifying 17 and 1 case of NRLN, respectively. Data regarding nerve anatomy, associated vascular anomalies, and patient medical history were collected and analyzed. Neck ultrasound examinations were subsequently performed on the 17 living patients, 5 months to 19 years post-surgery, by three radiologists specializing in head and neck soft-tissue imaging. Two radiologists were blinded to the specific nerve anatomy, while one was unblinded.
resultsVascular anomalies of the aortic arch were described only by the unblinded radiologist. Among the 17 NRLN cases, three (16.7%) exhibited normal vascular anatomy. According to Toniato
conclusionAchieving blood-free conditions for meticulous dissection and preserving sympathetic nerve branches are essential for optimal functional outcomes in thyroid surgeries involving NRLNs.
