Transoral endoscopic thyroid surgery in a Korean population.
Article in Surgical endoscopy, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 25 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
backgroundTransoral endoscopic thyroidectomy vestibular approach is expected to be a safe alternative to open surgery for certain patients and has been used increasingly by several surgeons around the world for the past 2 years. The purpose of this paper is to review our 2-year experience and describe in detail our preoperative considerations, patient selection, operating room settings, anesthetic considerations, surgical technique, postoperative management, and outcomes.
methodsWe reviewed the medical records of 65 consecutive patients who underwent transoral endoscopic thyroidectomy between July 2016 and May 2018 in our hospital.
resultsWe have performed 65 thyroid surgeries (54 thyroid lobectomies, 1 completion thyroidectomy, and 10 total thyroidectomies) in 64 patients. Postoperative pathology revealed papillary carcinoma in 55 patients (84.6%), follicular carcinoma in two (3.1%), hyalinizing trabecular tumor in one (1.5%), and other benign tumor in seven (10.8%). All surgical margins were negative. Two (3.1%) patients developed transient vocal cord palsy but recovered within 2 months. One (1.5%) patient with vocal cord palsy had not recovered by 3 months after surgery. Five (7.7%) patients who underwent total thyroidectomy developed transient hypocalcemia but recovered within 2 months.
conclusionAlthough transoral thyroid surgery is a relatively recent technique requiring further validation, it affords several advantages. Transoral thyroid surgery has not yet been universally accepted, but may be the best choice for thyroid surgery in the future.
