Review in Journal of minimally invasive surgery, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.

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

Purpose of review: This journal introduces a overview in depth about the evolution of transoral robotic thyroidectomy, which has been encountering major confrontations in expanding its indications. Recent findings: Transoral robotic thyroidectomy (TORT) is one of the newest approaches and draws attention because of its cosmetic excellence. The major advantage of TORT is comparatively smaller flap dissection area than other remote-access methods. The other advantage of TORT is that the wounds of lips fades out over time, and leaves concealed scar near axilla. Summary: TORT can be done safely to the appropriately selected patients by surgeon expertise in robotic thyroidectomy. It might be a potential alternative surgical approach for thyroidectomy to surgeons who are experienced in remote-access robotic surgery.
