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
objectiveThe purpose of the study was to evaluate the impact of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic on endocrine surgical volumes.
methodsThere were periodic surgical restriction sin our country in 2020 due to the pandemic. Endocrine surgery volumes at the Division of Endocrine Surgery, Istanbul Medical Faculty were compared between 2019 and 2020.
resultsThe surgical volume reduction in 2020 compared to 2019 was 20%, 54.5%, and 40% for thyroid, parathyroid, and adrenal surgery, respectively. Surgical volume for thyroidectomy for benign nodular goiter and parathyroidectomy significantly decreased, whereas adrenal surgery showed no significant difference in 2020 compared to 2019. No significant difference was found in the rates of thyroid cancer and adrenocortical cancer surgery in 2020compared to 2019.
conclusionThe COVID-19 outbreak led to a significant reduction in the annual rates of parathyroidectomy and thyroidectomy for benign goiter, whereas the volume of thyroid cancer and adrenal surgeries were similar to the previous year.
