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
objectTo evaluate the feasibility of NOTES for thyroid by the transvestibule approach.
methodsSix patients diagnosed with benign thyroid diseases were enrolled and underwent transvestibule endoscopic thyroidectomy in our hospital from October 2013 to September 2014.
resultsAll 6 patients completed transvestibule endoscopic thyroidectomy successfully with no conversion to open surgery. The mean operation time was 122 minutes (100 to 150 min). The average blood loss during surgery was 30 mL (10 to 40 mL). The pathologic diagnosis coincided with the preoperative diagnosis, which was 1 case of thyroid adenoma and 5 cases of thyroid goiters. The mean length of hospital stay was 8.2 days (8 to 10 d). No severe complications were reported during the 3 to 13 months' follow-up.
conclusionsTransvestibule endoscopic thyroidectomy is feasible, with a satisfactory cosmetic effect; yet, further improvement of surgical techniques are required on account of the complexity of the surgical procedure and the prolonged operation time.
