Long-term cosmetic results after minimally invasive video-assisted thyroidectomy.
Article in Surgical endoscopy, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundMinimally invasive video-assisted thyroidectomy (MIVAT) has been performed in the authors' department since 2004. Many authors have described some of its advantages over conventional surgery in terms of cosmetic results. The published literature on this topic variously describes the average central incision as 1 to 3 cm. The end point of the cosmetic results (e.g. the question of keloids) cannot be documented during the inpatient stay. This report describes the long-term cosmetic results for this method and analyzes the subjective and objective outcomes after MIVAT.
methodsFrom January 2004 until March 2010, 116 patients underwent MIVAT in the authors' department. The authors included 96 patients in their subsequent examination, with a follow-up period of 22.4 months (range, 1-64 months).
resultsThe measurable cervical scar length was 1.9 cm (range, 1-3 cm). The measurable wideness of the cervical scar was 0.17 cm (range, 0.05-1.5 cm). Keloids in 10 female patients (10.4%) had diverse proliferation. Of the 116 patients, 93 (96.8%) were very satisfied or satisfied with the cosmetic result. The Patient Scar Assessment Scale score was 9.7, and of the Observer Scar Assessment Scale score was 8.1.
conclusionIn terms of long-term results, MIVAT appears to provide excellent cosmetic outcomes. The problem with the development of keloids in the region of the cervical incision, especially in female patients, remains unresolved. The satisfaction of patients with the long-term outcome of MIVAT is high.
