Transoral Endoscopic Thyroidectomy Vestibular Approach.
Synthesis in JSLS : Journal of the Society of Laparoendoscopic Surgeons. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to trial NCT04268407 (2-day Prophylactic Antibiotic is Effective in Transoral Endoscopic Thyroidectomy), which is not on this map. Cited by 18 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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.

Abstract
backgroundRemote-access thyroid surgery has gained popularity and has advanced significantly over the past two decades, given the patient desire to avoid cosmetically displeasing scarring. It has only been recently that natural-orifice transluminal endoscopic surgery (NOTES) techniques have been geared for thyroidectomies. The transoral endoscopic thyroidectomy vestibular approach has been categorized as a NOTES procedure-given the approach to the thyroid gland via incisions in the oral cavity. Our aim is to provide a review of the current literature on the transoral endoscopic thyroidectomy vestibular approach (TOETVA), to present the worldwide experience of this novel procedure, and to outline whether individual patients have characteristics that would make the procedure feasible for this technique.
methodsA literature review was done to compile articles detailing the international experience with TOETVA. Our experience combined with what has been published in the literature was used to establish which pathological and patient characteristics make this particular technique feasible for a thyroidectomy.
resultsWe detail in the provided tables both feasibility for this surgical technique and the international experience.
conclusionTOETVA represents the latest remote-access endoscopic technique for the excision of the thyroid gland. TOETVA is being performed at various international institutions and multiple hospitals in the United States.
