Scarless endoscopic thyroidectomy (SET) lateral neck dissection for papillary thyroid carcinoma through breast approach: 10 years of experience.

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
backgroundBreast approach endoscopic thyroidectomy with lateral neck lymph node metastases dissection has been described. However, in this article, we report on 10 years' experience with the breast approach to patients with endoscopic thyroidectomy with level II, III, and IV lateral neck dissection (LND). Patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) who received scarless endoscopic thyroidectomy (SET) were included to evaluate its therapeutic effect.
methodsBetween June 2009 and June 2019, we selected 155 patients with PTC with level II, III, or IV level lymph node metastasis suspected. Ipsilateral level II, III, and IV dissection was performed, accompanied by thyroidectomy and central compartment dissection. In addition, 102 patients received conventional open LND during the same period and were included. Clinicopathological characteristics, outcomes, and tumor prognosis were retrospectively compared in the two groups.
resultsDuring the 10 years, the submitted patients' clinicopathological characteristics including tumor size, tumor stage, retrieved lymph nodes number, complication rates, postoperative PTH, and mean postoperative hospital stay were similar between the SET and open group. The mean operating time in the SET group (278.2 ± 38.6 min) was longer than in the open group (179.3 ± 25.4 min). The recurrent rate was not significantly different (2/155, 2/106) in the SET and conventional open group.
conclusionThe safety and oncological completeness dissection of SET was similar to that of open procedures. SET is an effective treatment approach for patients with PTC having cosmetic results' demand of lateral neck lymph node metastases.
