Novel Trocars and Suspension System Application in Gasless Transoral Endoscopic Thyroidectomy Vestibular Approach Oral Endoscopic Surgery.
Article in Frontiers in oncology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. An erratum has been issued. Cited by 9 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
In the current study, we reported our initial experience of gasless transoral endoscopic thyroidectomy vestibular approach (TOETVA) by novel trocars and a suspension system. Between February 2019 to September 2020, thyroid cancer patients with indicated central lymph node metastasis by imaging examination who had received gasless TOETVA by our designed trocars and suspension system in The First Affiliated Hospital of University of Science and Technology of China were reviewed. A total of 95 thyroid cancer patients that received gasless TOETVA were included in this analysis. Of note, 73 cases underwent one-sided lobectomy and the remaining 22 cases underwent total thyroidectomy. All thyroid cancer patients underwent central lymph node dissection (CND). The average total examined lymph nodes number was 8.55 ± 5.67 per individual. No serious complications occurred during or after the operation besides one patient who had a short-term recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) deficit and one patient who had delayed postoperative bleeding. In conclusion, the use of novel trocars and a suspension system can effectively improve the safety and efficacy of TOETVA.
