Thyroid cancer surgery - in what direction are we going? A mini-review.
Review in The Journal of international medical research, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 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
The prevalence of thyroid cancer, especially in women, is increasing dramatically. Therefore, patients often undergo thyroidectomy upon diagnosis. However, the cosmetic outcome after surgery is of particular concern for many patients. Thus, minimally invasive procedures for treating thyroid disease have been established in recent decades. Total endoscopic and robotic procedures have been slowly and successively introduced while meeting all oncological criteria. Our analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of scarless surgical procedures suggests that the cosmetic aspects of these surgeries will continue to become more important. This review assesses the recent findings regarding the roles of endoscopic and robotic procedures in thyroid cancer surgery.
