Morbidity and long-term survival in patients with cervical re-exploration for papillary thyroid carcinoma.

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
backgroundPapillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) has a favorable prognosis following one-stage surgical therapy, whereas two-stage resections bear the risk of increased morbidity and possibly impaired prognosis. To further elucidate the value of surgical re-exploration in PTC, a retrospective study was performed.
methodsThe study involved 187 patients with PTC who underwent total thyroidectomy with central lymph node dissection between 2001 and 2011. The number of two-stage surgeries, the rates of recurrent laryngeal nerve paralysis (RLNP) as well as hypocalcemia, and the long-term survival were assessed.
resultsTwo-stage surgeries were performed in 43%. No statistically significant difference was seen between the one- and two-stage resection groups regarding the rate of RLNP (transient 5.6% vs. 6.3%, permanent 2.6% vs. 0%) nor for hypocalcemia (transient 25.2% vs. 18.8%, permanent 14.0% vs. 22.5%). The 10-year recurrence-free survival was 95.5% and the 10-year disease-specific survival was 98.9% with no difference between groups.
conclusionEven though two-stage surgeries do not lead to a higher incidence of RLNP and hypocalcemia, optimal preoperative and intraoperative diagnostics have to be carried out to reduce the amount of completion surgeries.
