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

introductionMinimally invasive thyroidectomy (MIT) is technically less damaging tissue and is better cosmetic results with small neck scar, decreasing postoperative pain and neck discomfort. We present the experience of MIT without remote access with case of grossly extra-thyroidal extension positive papillary thyroid carcinoma. PRESENTATION OF CASE: A 44-year-old, female presented 1.6 cm irregular hypoechoic nodule at upper pole in Right thyroid gland and diagnosed to papillary thyroid carcinoma. The tumor was suspicious to have extra-thyroidal extension. We performed MIT without remote access for this patient with 2 cm cervical incision. Postoperative course was uneventful and patient was discharged on the 3th postoperative day. At present, she is taking 100mcg levothyroxine and is free of disease 3 years post-surgery.

conclusionIf experienced surgeons can get sufficient resection margin and control bleeding of superior thyroid artery, MIT without remote access can be feasible method for thyroid carcinoma with gross extra-thyroidal extension, especially, upper pole carcinoma.
