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

backgroundEndoscopic thyroidectomy has obvious advantages over conventional surgical techniques in terms of postoperative cosmetic outcome. Although the incidence of carbon dioxide embolism (CDE) during endoscopic thyroidectomy is very low, it is potentially fatal. The clinical manifestations of CDE vary, and more attention should be paid to this disorder. CASE SUMMARY: A 27-year-old man was scheduled for thyroidectomy by the transoral vestibular approach. The patient had no other diseases or surgical history. During the operation, he developed a CDE following inadvertent injury of the anterior jugular vein. The clinical manifestation in this patient was a transient sharp rise in end-tidal carbon dioxide, and his remaining vital signs were stable. In addition, loud coarse systolic and diastolic murmurs were heard over the precordium. The patient was discharged on day 4 after surgery without complications.

conclusionA transient sharp rise in end-tidal carbon dioxide is considered a helpful early sign of CDE during endoscopic thyroidectomy.
