Funnel plots depicting the odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) and standard errors (SE) for total (A), transient (B), and persistent (C) recurrent laryngeal nerve palsies in the included studies. Total recurrent laryngeal nerve palsy is defined as transient recurrent laryngeal nerve palsy in combination with permanent recurrent laryngeal nerve palsy.

Forest plots showing the distributions of (A) total recurrent laryngeal nerve palsy, (B) transient recurrent laryngeal nerve palsy, and (C) persistent recurrent laryngeal nerve palsy. Total recurrent laryngeal nerve palsy is defined as transient recurrent laryngeal nerve palsy in combination with permanent recurrent laryngeal nerve palsy. CI = confidence interval.
