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
Thyroid surgery is performed by ENT head and neck (ENT-HNS), endocrine (ES) and general surgeons (GS). Each modality adopts different surgical techniques causing difference in outcome, operative time and postoperative complication. A retrospective chart review of thyroid surgeries performed by two ENT-HNS, three ES of a single tertiary center was conducted. We compared the use of neuromonitoring and surgical loupe and subsequent patient outcomes between surgeries performed by ENT-HNS versus ES, focusing on parathyroid gland identification, operative duration, vocal cord paralysis and length of hospital stay. A total of 167 patients underwent thyroid surgery. Surgical loupes were used in all the surgeries performed by ENT-HNS vs. 85% by the ES. Parathyroid glands were identified in all the surgeries performed by ENT-HNS versus 95% by ES. Neuromonitoring was used in all the surgeries performed by ENT-HNS, and none by the ES. Vocal cord paralysis developed in two patients of ES versus none in the ENT-HNS. Mean operative duration for total thyroidectomy in ENT-HN surgeries, 183.7 min vs. 151 min in the ES. The mean hospital stay of patients was 3.6 ± 1.6 days for ENT-HNS, and 5.45 ± 3 days for ES. Identification of parathyroid gland and recurrent laryngeal nerve by neuromonitoring and surgical loupes may increase operative time but decrease the rate of vocal cord paralysis and increases the chance of parathyroid gland identification.
