Minimally invasive video-assisted thyroidectomy (MIVAT).
Article in Gland surgery, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 25 papers.
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
backgroundMinimally invasive video-assisted thyroidectomy (MIVAT) was first described in 1999 and it has become a widespread technique performed worldwide. Although initially limited to benign thyroid nodules, MIVAT was progressively adopted for all types of thyroid diseases, while remaining within the selection criteria. It is reported that, in selected cases, MIVAT is comparable to standard open thyroidectomy (SOT) in terms of oncologic radicality, time, costs and complications rate, with the advantage of a better cosmetic result and a lower post-operative pain.
methodsThe authors conducted a retrospective analysis about patients who underwent MIVAT between 1998 and 2019 in the Endocrine Surgery Unit of the University Hospital in Pisa. Indications and contraindications are mentioned and strictly followed.
resultsTotal thyroidectomy was performed in 1,862 cases (69%) and hemithyroidectomy was performed in 763 cases (28.3%). Conversion occurred in 43 cases (1.6%). In 188 cases (7%) a postoperative transient hypoparathyroidism was reported, whereas definitive hypoparathyroidism was reported in 12 cases (0.4%). Thirty-eight patients (1.4%) suffered from a definitive postoperative recurrent laryngeal nerve palsy. No definitive bilateral recurrent laryngeal nerve palsy occurred.
conclusionsFrom our multi-years' experience which spreads over 20 years, we can reaffirm the concept that MIVAT is a safe procedure which is not burdened by an increase complications rate or additional costs. Furthermore, this technique offers advantages in terms of cosmetic results and post-operative pain.
