Current status of robotic thyroid surgery in South Korea: a web-based survey.
Article in World journal of surgery, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 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
backgroundMore than 8,000 cases of robotic thyroidectomy (RoT) were performed in South Korea from 2007 to 2011 using either a transaxillary approach (TAA) or a bilateral axillo-breast approach (BABA). However, there is no consensus regarding patient selection for RoT. This study used a web-based survey questionnaire to examine the current status of RoT in South Korea.
methodsThirty-two of 50 surgeons (64.0 %) who had performed RoT in South Korea participated in the web-based survey in August 2011. The questionnaires comprised four main domains: surgeon characteristics, surgical approach, patient selection, and future prospects.
resultsIn terms of surgical approach, 43.8 % respondents used the TAA method and 53.1 % used the BABA method. The main advantage cited by surgeons using the TAA method was that it made lateral lymph node dissection easier (35.7 %), whereas those using the BABA method cited more cosmesis (100 %) and ease of performing a contralateral thyroidectomy (88.2 %). Papillary thyroid cancer ≤2 cm (65.3 %), intracapsular lesion (76.7 %), nonposterior location (53.6 %), and no clinical evidence of lateral lymph node metastasis (76.7 %) were cited as main indications for RoT. Of respondents, 87.5 % agreed that RoT would play a future role as a treatment modality for thyroid disease.
conclusionsOpinions differed regarding the advantages and disadvantages of two approaches for RoT. This may be due to differences in surgical procedure itself between two approach methods. Accumulation of RoT surgeon's experiences might establish consensus regarding patient selection and indications for the RoT will need to be further investigated.
