Transaxillary gasless endoscopic hemithyroidectomy versus conventional open hemithyroidectomy: early single-centre experience.
Article in Updates in surgery, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Conventional open thyroidectomy is defined as a gold standard in thyroid gland disease treatment. However, progressive surgery methods such as endoscopic technique provide better structure visualisation and improved cosmetic effect. Our study aim is to compare conventional open (COH) and endoscopic transaxillary hemithyroidectomy (TAH) and define the learning curve for TAH procedure. We retrospectively analysed 107 COH and 65 TAH cases. Patients' demographic data and surgery results were compared. Also, surgeon learning curve analysis using cumulative sum (CUSUM) was performed for the duration of the surgery. TAH was applied to younger female patients with lower thyroid gland volume. COH group patients were hospitalised for longer in comparison with TAH (p < 0.05). Mean TAH surgery time was longer (78.1 min, SD = 22.6) compared with COH (66.7 min, 15.3) (p < 0.05). Overall complication rate was comparable between groups. There was a tendency towards a lower unintentional parathyroidectomy rate in TAH group. TAH group results showed significantly longer surgery time for patients whose body mass index (BMI) was over 30 (kg/m
