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

Indocyanine green (ICG) angiography, a real-time intraoperative imaging technique, is associated with better parathyroid identification and functional evaluation during open thyroidectomy. However, the benefits of ICG fluorescence imaging application in transoral endoscopic thyroidectomy are not well-documented. Consecutive patients who underwent transoral endoscopic thyroidectomy were retrospectively reviewed. Parathyroid glands were assessed with visual inspection followed by ICG angiography. The fluorescence intensity of all parathyroid glands was recorded. In total, 158 parathyroid glands from 60 patients (41 underwent lobectomy and 19 underwent total thyroidectomy) were eligible for evaluation. A total of 135 parathyroid glands (85.4%) were identified, including nine glands (5.7%) that were solely localized because of ICG angiography. Incidental parathyroidectomy occurred in 12 patients with predominant inferior gland (83.3%) and associated with central neck dissection (66.7%). Among patients receiving total thyroidectomy, patients who retained at least one well-perfused parathyroid gland had higher parathyroid hormone (PTH) level and were less likely to develop hypoparathyroidism on postoperative day one than those without any well-perfused ICG-enhanced parathyroid gland (
