Minimally invasive surgical techniques in the management of differentiated thyroid cancer.
Article in Otorinolaringologia, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
Thyroid cancer is the fifth most common cancer in women with approximately 60,220 expected new cases in the United States in 2013, and the incidence continues to increase each year. Fortunately, the majority are well-differentiated thyroid cancers with excellent overall prognosis. Controversy persists regarding the optimal surgical management of differentiated thyroid cancer in terms of the extent of thyroid resection (thyroid lobectomy vs total thyroidectomy) and the utility of prophylactic central neck dissection (pCND) in low-risk PTC, and papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (PTMC, defined as <10 mm). Thyroid surgical approaches have progressed from the Kocher open incision to minimally invasive techniques that include endoscopic and robotic thyroidectomy. Overall, these minimally invasive techniques have been shown to be safe, and appear to be associated with improved cosmesis and decreased pain compared to open thyroidectomy.
