1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

purposeMinimal access thyroidectomy, using various techniques, is widely known, but respective data on thyroidectomy for thyroid cancer with lymphadenectomy is scarce. The present study aims to evaluate the feasability of extended subplatysmal dissection in combination with a small incision ("mobile window" technique).

methodsA retrospective study was performed analysing data from 93 patients. All patients suffered from thyroid carcinoma and underwent (total) thyroidectomy, bilateral cervico-central (levels VI and VII) and functional lateral neck dissection (levels II to V) on the side of the malignancy. In group A, consisting of 47 patients, the operation was performed by a traditional Kocher incision (minimal range 6-7 cm), in 46 patients (group B) a mini-incision (≤4 cm) was made. Intra- and postoperative morbidity as well as oncological accuracy were assessed.

resultsThere was no significant difference between the two groups comparing postoperative pathological diagnosis, intra- and postoperative complications and the number of removed lymph nodes. However, operating time was slightly longer in group A and thyroid weight was heavier in group B.

conclusionsExtended subplatymsal dissection allows thyroidectomy and even lateral lymphadenectomy for thyroid carcinoma via "mobile" mini-incision. The procedure is safe, of equivalent oncological accuracy compared to traditional incision and the cosmetic results are excellent.
