Endoscopic-assisted lateral neck dissection and open lateral neck dissection in the treatment of lateral neck lymph node metastasis in papillary thyroid carcinoma: A comparison of therapeutic effect.

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
Objectives: To compare the therapeutic effect of endoscopic-assisted lateral neck dissection and open lateral neck dissection in the treatment of lateral neck lymph node metastasis of patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). Methods: A retrospective analysis was carried out focusing on the general clinical data of 86 patients with PTC treated Baoding No.1 Central Hospital from January 2020 to September 2021. According to different surgical methods, enrolled patients were divided into the endoscopic surgery group (n = 34) and the open surgery group (n = 52). Further comparison was performed on the operation indexes [operation time, postoperative length of stay in hospital, number of dissected lymph nodes (central area, lateral cervical area), number of metastatic lymph nodes (central area, lateral cervical area), hospitalization cost], postoperative complications, postoperative neck pain, neck numbness discomfort score, and satisfaction with postoperative cosmetic effect. Results: The operation time and hospitalization cost of the endoscopic surgery group were higher than those of the open surgery group, and the intraoperative blood loss was lower than that of the open surgery group, with statistically significant differences ( Conclusion: Endoscopic-assisted lateral neck dissection can reduce intraoperative blood loss and postoperative complication incidence in the treatment of lateral neck lymph node metastasis of PTC. However, it has the disadvantages of longer operation time and high hospitalization costs.
