Transaxillary gasless endoscopic thyroidectomy versus conventional open thyroidectomy: systematic review and meta-analysis.
Article in Wideochirurgia i inne techniki maloinwazyjne = Videosurgery and other miniinvasive techniques, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
aimThis systematic review and meta-analysis evaluates surgical outcome and safety results of conventional (OT) versus endoscopic transaxillary gasless thyroidectomies (ET). MATERIAL AND
methodsA systematic literature search was performed. The weighted mean differences or the odd ratios with corresponding 95% CIs were examined for surgical outcomes and complications. The results were analysed using fixed- or random-effects models. The heterogeneity was checked by the Cochran Q test and the extent of inconsistency was evaluated by the I
resultsTen studies and 1597 patients were included. All studies found that ET required longer operative time. Postoperative pain was significantly lower after ET on day 1 and day 7. No statistical difference was found in complication rates.
conclusionsET has disadvantages such as longer surgery time, but it is a feasible and safe procedure with lower postoperative pain and comparable complication rates to OT. However, good quality prospective randomised studies are necessary to draw firmer conclusions.
