Comparison of surgical smoke between two approaches for endoscopic thyroidectomy and open thyroidectomy.
Article in BMC surgery, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundSurgical smoke has been recognized as a potential health risk by an increasing number of researchers. Moreover, the counts of surgical smoke produced during different surgical approaches are different. This study aimed to measure and compare the particulate matter (PM) of surgical smoke generated during open thyroidectomy and two endoscopic approaches for thyroidectomy to provide guidance for safe clinical practices.
methodsForty-eight patients with thyroid cancer admitted to our hospital from June 2020 to December 2021 and treated with different surgical approaches were enrolled in this study. The total and peak counts of PM, dynamic changes, and other characteristics of surgical smoke produced during surgery were recorded. PM was classified as PM
resultsIn a single cut, both the peak and total counts of PM
conclusionIn thyroid surgery, more surgical smoke is produced during open thyroidectomy than during endoscopic thyroidectomy, while different endoscopic approaches showed no significant difference in surgical smoke production. Thus, endoscopic approaches outperform the open thyroidectomy approach with regard to surgical smoke production.
