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 AND
objectivesThis study was conducted to assess changes in swallowing function in thyroidectomy patients and to identify clinical risk factors associated with persistent patient-reported swallowing symptoms.
methodsThe study was a retrospective, observational study. Data were collected from 280 patients who underwent total thyroidectomy between January 2022 and January 2025. Swallowing function was assessed using the Turkish Eating Assessment Tool-10 (T-EAT-10). Multivariate logistic regression analysis was employed to identify independently associated factors for persistent patient-reported swallowing symptoms, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis was used to assess the discriminative performance of continuous variables.
resultsPatient-reported T-EAT-10 scores changed significantly during the follow-up period (χ
conclusionsDysphagia following thyroidectomy typically resolves over time. However, the presence of preoperative and postoperative dysphonia appears to be a strong indicator of the development of persistent patient-reported swallowing symptoms.
