Article in Gland surgery, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
background
methodsA total of 85 patients with metastatic papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) who agreed to total thyroidectomy with unilateral LND were recruited from March 2016 to September 2017. During the operation, PAI was applied in 44 patients, while 41 remaining patients served as the control group. The thyroid function and parathyroid function, drainage volume, hospital stay, and incidence of complications were compared between the two groups.
resultsThe groups had few differences in age, gender, BMI, thyroid function, parathyroid function, diameter of tumor, and the number of the harvested lymph nodes. The median total drainage volume was significantly smaller and the mean hospital stay was obviously shorter in the PAI group compared to the non-PAI group. But the median volumes of peak 24-hour drainage which appeared during the first day after operation had few differences in the two groups. Postoperative fever in the PAI group was higher than in the non-PAI group. None of the patients had permanent recurrent laryngeal nerve paralysis and tumor recurrence on the 12
conclusionsThe application of PAI to the wound cavity after LND is safe and effective for reducing the drainage volume and hospital stay.
