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

The aim of this study was to highlight the changes in the surgical treatment of patients with thyroid pathology over a 4-year period. The dynamics of various parameters during this period at a tertiary University Hospital in Timisoara, Romania were examined. Data from 1339 patients who underwent thyroid surgery between 26 February 2019 and 25 February 2023 were analyzed. The patients were divided into four groups: Pre-COVID-19, C1 (first year of the pandemic), C2 (second year), and C3 (third year). Multiple parameters of the patients were analyzed. Statistical analysis revealed a significant decrease in the number of surgical interventions performed during the first two years of the pandemic (
