Surgery for Graves' disease in the era of robotic-assisted surgery: a study of safety and feasibility in the Western population.
Article in Langenbeck's archives of surgery, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
purposeThyroid surgery for Graves' disease is known to be associated with higher risk of complications. We seek to compare outcomes between robotic-assisted and open cervical approach thyroid surgery in patients with Graves' disease in the Western population.
methodsWe performed a retrospective cohort study using prospectively collected databases for patients undergoing robotic-assisted or conventional cervical approach thyroid surgery for Graves' disease at two academic medical centers, one in North America (New Orleans, LA) and one in Europe (Paris, France).
resultsA total of 102 patients were included, of which 56 (55%) underwent robotic thyroidectomy and 46 (45%) underwent conventional open cervical thyroidectomy. Mean age was 40.2 ± 13.2 years and 94 (92%) were females. Mean BMI for the sample was 27.7 ± 10.2 kg/m
conclusionRobotic thyroid surgery is safe in a select group of patients with Graves' disease in the Western population. Additional studies are warranted to further investigate these findings.
