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

Objectives: To observe the clinical efficacy on total or near-total thyroidectomy in the treatment of thyroid cancer. Methods: Ninety-four patients with thyroid cancer treated in Meiris Branch of the First Affiliated Hospital of Qiqihar Medical College from June 2018 to June 2020 were selected as subjects. According to different surgical methods, they were divided into observation group and control group, with 47 patients in each group. The control group was treated with total thyroidectomy, while the observation group received near-total thyroidectomy. The two groups were both followed up for one year. The therapeutic effect, surgery-related indexes (surgical duration, intraoperative bleeding volume, postoperative analgesia time and postoperative 24-h VAS score), the incidence of complications three months after surgery, and the serum levels of relevant indexes [parathyroid hormone (PTH), calcium ion (Ca Results: During the one year follow-up, there was no death in both groups. The total efficacy of the observation group was higher than that of the control group (0.05). The surgical duration, postoperative analgesia time and postoperative 24-h VAS score of the observation group were higher than those of the control group ( Conclusion: Total thyroidectomy is effective in the treatment of thyroid cancer, but has many postoperative complications. Clinicians need to choose the appropriate surgical method according to the actual condition of patients.
