Robot-assisted transaxillary thyroid surgery-retrospective analysis of anthropometric features.
Article in Langenbeck's archives of surgery, 2016. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
purposeThe vast majority of studies published on robot-assisted thyroid surgery are South Korean. This study aims to assess the impact of certain anthropometric parameters on performing robot-assisted thyroid surgery on Caucasian patients. MATERIALS AND
methodsA total of 91 patients underwent robot-assisted surgery by the axillary approach in the Fifth Surgical Clinic, City Hospital Cluj-Napoca, between 2010 and 2015. Besides the specific clinical and pathological parameters, a series of anthropometric parameters and the postoperative occurrence of skin disorders in the cervical or subclavicular region were determined for each patient.
resultsThere was an increase in dissection time and console time, which was directly proportional to the patients' body mass index. There were no statistically significant differences in the incidence of postoperative complications in patients with different body mass indices. The postoperative drainage volume was significantly higher in overweight or obese patients. The time needed to visualize the thyroid lodge was longer in patients with wider shoulders, and there was a negative correlation between neck length and console time. A statistically significant direct correlation was found between the clavicle length-neck length ratio and the duration of the entire intervention. There was no significant influence of any of these parameters on the duration of hospitalization or the occurrence of other postoperative complications.
conclusionsThe nutritional status of the patients and the other anthropometric parameters influenced the duration and difficulty of the intervention, without affecting its safety in terms of intra- and postoperative- complications.
