1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Graves' disease is the most common cause of hyperthyroidism in children. The surgery treatment for children Graves' disease with huge goiter is high risk and controversial. A 14-year-old girl suffered Graves' disease with huge goiter and failed to the antithyroid drug therapy for nearly 4 years was surgically treated with total thyroidectomy. The excised thyroid weighed 449.1 g and heavier than any excised children goiter reported so far. After operation, the patient's symptoms of Graves' disease were significantly improved without any complication, including normal basal metabolic rate, relieved exophthalmia and euthyroidism. So, a children Graves' disease with huge goiter was cured by total thyroidectomy, suggesting that a total/near-total thyroidectomy is a good option for children Graves' disease with huge goiter.
