Narrative review of management of thyroid surgery complications.
Review in Gland surgery, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 29 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Currently, thyroid surgery is the most common and safe operation worldwide. However, thyroidectomy is still not free from the risks of complications and death due to the anatomical structure and physiological function particularity of the thyroid gland. Postoperative complications affect the life quality and life safety of patients after surgery. The common complications include hypoparathyroidism (HP), recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) injury, injury to the external branch of the superior laryngeal nerve (EBSLN), postoperative bleeding (PB), thoracic duct injury, laryngeal edema, tracheospasm, tracheal injury, and esophageal injury. A severe complication, such as dyspnea, asphyxia, or thyroid crisis, might cause the death of the patient. Therefore, every thyroid surgeon's responsibility is to remain alert and aware of the occurrence of various intraoperative and postoperative complications and exercise effective prevention and treatment. This is closely related to the advancement in thyroid disease research, the increase in local anatomy knowledge, the standardization of surgical approaches, the improvement in operating skills, the application of new technologies, and the emphasis on specialty training. In addition, many complications that effect patients are much better tolerated if the patient has appropriate expectations of what the complications are and how to treat them. Open communication between surgeon and patient optimizes the potential negative effects that complications may have on patients' quality of life. This paper discusses the prevention, recognition and therapy of intraoperative and postoperative complications in thyroid surgery.
