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
introductionTransoral vestibular endoscopic thyroidectomy (TOET) is sometimes used in young and middle-aged patients with papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (PTMC), but it is still difficult to identify lymph nodes (LNs) and parathyroid glands (PGs). Carbon nanoparticle (CN) is a novel lymph node tracer and has been widely used in open thyroid surgery.
aimTo evaluate the efficacy of CN in identifying LNs and preserving PGs in TOET with central neck dissection (CND). MATERIAL AND
methodsA total of 72 PTMC patients undergoing TOET with CND were retrospectively enrolled from January 2017 to January 2019. Patients were divided into a CN group (n = 38) and a control group (n = 34). The parameters including pathological characteristics, surgery related indicators, serum Ca
resultsNo significant differences were found in patient characteristics, operative complications and superior PGs preserved in situ (all p > 0.05). Total LNs and number of LNs less than 5 mm were significantly higher in the CN group than in the control group (p = 0.021, p < 0.01). The number of superior PGs preserved in situ discovered in the CN group was greater than the control group (p = 0.038). Serum PTH and Ca
conclusionsCN may be a good choice for TOET for PTMC because of better protection and faster recovery of parathyroid function, and more LNs removed.
