The sensorimotor changes of the lower lip and chin after transoral endoscopic thyroidectomy vestibular approach.
Article in Updates in 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
The transoral endoscopic thyroidectomy vestibular approach (TOETVA) can lead to abnormal sensorimotor changes in the lower lip and chin because of its incision design. This study aimed to explore the surgical outcomes of these changes after TOETVA. A total of 122 patients who underwent TOETVA were reviewed. The original incision design was used for the 39 patients in group A and a modified incision design was used for the 83 patients in group B. The sensorimotor changes in the lower lip and chin were compared. Varying degrees of paresthesia of the lower lip and chin (PoLC) were noted in all group A patients. Approximately 20.5% of group B patients did not suffer from PoLC, and the degree of PoLC in group B was significantly lower (P < 0.001). Abnormal motor function of the lower lip was noted for 23.1% of the patients in group A and 2.4% of those in group B. The incision design plays an important role in the morbidity of sensorimotor changes in the lower lip and chin. Our modified incision design seems minimally invasive and feasible for patients who undergo TOETVA.
