Comparison of the Postoperative Outcomes of the Mini-Flap Bilateral Axillo-Breast Approach (BABA) and Conventional BABA Robot-Assisted Thyroidectomy.
Article in Journal of clinical medicine, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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
The bilateral axillo-breast approach (BABA) for robot-assisted thyroidectomy has some advantages over other minimally invasive thyroidectomies. However, some people do not consider this as a minimally invasive thyroidectomy because of the wider surgical skin flap. Thus, we devised mini-flap BABA robot-assisted thyroidectomy and analyzed the postoperative outcomes. The clinical records of 44 patients undergoing BABA robot-assisted thyroidectomy using a conventional flap or mini-flap were evaluated retrospectively. There were no significant group differences in clinicopathological characteristics. The operating and flap making times were shorter in the mini-flap group (206.18 ± 31.09 vs. 178.90 ± 34.43 min,
