Unilateral axilla-bilateral areola approach for thyroidectomy by da Vinci robot
Article in Gland surgery, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
backgroundTo compare the efficacy and safety of unilateral axilla-bilateral areola (UABA) approach for robot-assisted thyroidectomy with conventional open surgery in thyroid cancer patients.
methodsThe clinicopathological features and surgical outcomes of 194 thyroid cancer patients treated by robotic surgery using the UABA approach and 217 patients treated by open surgery in our department from January 2017 to August 2018 were analysed and compared.
resultsThe operation time was longer in the robotic group than in the open surgery group. The patients' satisfaction with neck appearance was higher in the robotic group than in the open surgery group (91.2%
conclusionsCompared with open surgery, UABA robotic surgery preserved the neck appearance and effectively reduced hypoparathyroidism by super-meticulous capsular dissection (SMCD).
