A novel anatomy-based five-settlement method for endoscopic thyroid lobectomy and ipsilateral central compartment neck dissection
Article in Frontiers in endocrinology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Background: Endoscopic thyroidectomy (ET) Methods: PTC patients who underwent endoscopic ET and unilateral central compartment neck dissection (CCND) Results: In total, 521 patients underwent lobectomy and CCND under the GUA approach with the five-settlement method. The mean number of lymph nodes yielded (LNY) and positive lymph nodes (PLN) was 5.7 ± 4.3 (range, 1-30) and 1.0 ± 1.8 (range, 0-12), respectively. The incidence of transient recurrent laryngeal nerve injury was 1.1%. Chyle leakage and Horner's syndrome respectively occurred in one patient (0.2%). Five (0.9%) patients developed a hematoma. No severe complications or conversion to open surgery have occurred. Conclusion: The five-settlement method could be implemented safely and efficiently in ET+CCND
