Transoral Robotic Excision of Paediatric Lingual Thyroglossal Duct Cyst.
Article in Indian journal of otolaryngology and head and neck surgery : official publication of the Association of Otolaryngologists of India, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
Lingual thyroglossal duct cyst (TGDC) is a rare variant of TGDC that emerges within the tongue base. It presents a unique surgical challenge. There are different approaches to managing this condition. Transoral robotic surgery (TORS) has been successfully used for lesions of the tongue base in adults. This report presents a 7 year old boy with a cystic lesion in the base of tongue, which was diagnosed to be a lingual TGDC. The cyst was excised transorally using Da Vinci Robotic system. The surgery was performed in a short operating time with no complications or recurrence on follow up. TORS is an effective and reliable method of excision of lingual TGDC in the paediatric population. Lingual TGDC can be managed by simple excision of the cyst without excision of hyoid bone. Further studies are needed to confirm the safety and recurrence rates of this technique in paediatric population.
