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

purposeThis study aimed to assess the feasibility and voice outcomes of medialization thyroplasty (MT) with the APrevent

methodThis prospective case series was conducted at a single tertiary referral center. Twelve adult patients with unilateral vocal fold paralysis (UVFP) and severe dysphonia (Voice Handicap Index-30 ≥ 33) underwent MT with the APrevent

resultsAll the patients were follow-up to 6 months and the results revealed significant voice improvements. Maximum phonation time increased within two weeks. Voice Handicap Index and cepstral peak prominence smoothed (CPPS) significantly improved at two months. Shimmer and signal-to-noise ratio improved at six months, while jitter showed minimal change.
