Preoperative application of carbon nanoparticles in bilateral axillo-breast approach robotic thyroidectomy for papillary thyroid cancer.

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
backgroundCarbon nanoparticles (CNs) have been used intraoperatively in open thyroid surgery to facilitate central neck dissection and parathyroid protection. However, little attention was paid to the preoperative injection of CNs. Its safety and feasibility remain to be evaluated in bilateral axillo-breast approach robotic thyroidectomy (BABA RT).
methodsIn this retrospective cohort study, 114 papillary thyroid cancer patients (PTC) undergoing BABA RT were enrolled from March 2020 to March 2021. In the CNs group (n=64), 0.15 mL of CNs was injected into the thyroid lobules with malignant nodules the day before surgery. Medical records were reviewed and analyzed, including complications of CNs usage, surgical outcomes, central lymph node (CLN) retrieval, and parathyroid glands (PGs)-related parameters.
resultsNo significant differences were found between the CNs and the control groups in terms of general characteristics and surgical parameters. Complications of CNs were rare in the CNs group. The mean number of retrieved CLN was significantly higher in the CNs group than in the control group (9.48±4.88
conclusionsIn patients with PTC undergoing BABA RT, preoperative application of CNs is a safe and feasible method to facilitate central neck dissection. However, the value of the preoperative application of CNs in robotic thyroidectomy needs to be further studied because it has no significant benefit for parathyroid protection.
