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

Surgery is one of the most appropriate treatment options for many patients with substernal goiter (SG). However, SG surgery has some technical difficulties and a higher risk of complications compared to normal cervical thyroid surgery. Due to these technical difficulties and complication risks, which we also mentioned in our study, SG surgery should be performed by experienced and high-volume endocrine surgeons in centers with a large team and technical equipment. Pre-operative clinical and radiological evaluation and definitions in SG were evaluated in detail in our previous study. Detailed pre-operative evaluation, pre-operative risk assessment, surgical anatomy, anesthesia, appropriate surgical planning and estimation of surgical width are extremely important in SG surgery, where surgical technical difficulties and increased complication risks compared to cervical thyroid surgery come to the fore. In this study, we aimed to evaluate these preoperative and peroperative preparations in detail.
