Difficult thyroidectomies.
Article in Il Giornale di chirurgia. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
The "difficult thyroidectomies" (DT) are motivated by several factors that, alone or in association with each other, make surgery more laborious and increase the related risks. Topographical, technical and anatomical criteria have been used by us to classify DT with a view to illustrating specific problems and suggesting appropriate strategies. According to topographical criteria we considered mediastinal goiter and resurgery; according to technical criteria we considered the presence of auto-immune thyroiditis and locally advanced malignancies; on the basis of anatomical criteria, we considered the presence of "non recurrent" laryngeal nerve and of a pre-operatory vocal cord palsy.
