[Total thyroidectomy for multinodular goiter].
Review in Der Chirurg; Zeitschrift fur alle Gebiete der operativen Medizen, 2010. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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
Multinodular goiter is a frequent disease which plays a central role in the daily routine of general and visceral surgeons. Analyses of the national DRG statistics reveal that total thyroidectomy is increasingly replacing partial thyroid resections. This paradigm shift is substantiated by the comprehension of multinodular goiter as a disease affecting the whole organ as well as the fact that total thyroidectomy avoids high risk secondary interventions for incidental thyroid carcinomas and recurrent disease while offering comparable operative risks. However, the available evidence on operative results originates predominantly from thyroid centers and clinical data regarding long-term effects of thyroid hormone substitution following total as well as sub-total thyroidectomy are lacking. Therefore, the preservation of functionally relevant normal thyroid tissue retains its relevancy as an alternative treatment. If a comparably low operative risk can be guaranteed and considering the patient's compliance, life situation and wishes, total thyroidectomy represents the optimal therapy for bilateral multinodular goiter.
