Surgical treatment result of giant thyroid tumor: Case series in Vietnam.
Article in International journal of surgery case reports, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
introductionGiant thyroid tumors can be associated with severely compressive symptoms and surgery is inevitable for treatment strategy. However, the risk of surgical complications is higher as well as the duration of operation may be longer than those of small thyroid tumors. PRESENTATION OF CASES: Two patients with large neck tumors were admitted with history of thyroid goiters for more than 10 years. Recently, the patients have complained of worsening compressive symptoms including dyspnea and dysphagia. Imaging work-up indicated a deviation and compression of trachea. Both patients underwent either lobectomy or thyroidectomy and were discharged without any complications. Final histological results were thyroid adenoma in both cases.
conclusionSurgical management is considered as primary treatment for most patients with giant thyroid tumors. It is necessary to be aware of complications and careful dissection to archive a good outcome.
