Computed Tomography Findings Affecting the Decision of Sternotomy in Substernal Goiter.

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
Objectives: Although thyroidectomy is completed with a cervical incision in most patients with substernal goiter (SG), sternotomies may be required occasionally. The purpose of this study is to examine computed tomography (CT) findings that may predict the need for sternotomy in SG surgery. Methods: Neck-thoracic CT images of patients who underwent total thyroidectomy with the diagnosis of SG between 2013 and 2022 were retrospectively examined. The patients (n=41) were divided into two groups: sternotomies (n=6) and cervical (n=35). Preoperative pathological data, CT findings, and postoperative complications of the patients were recorded. Results: The total thyroid volume of the sternotomy group (280.75±127.01 mm Conclusion: The radiological findings of total thyroid volume, retrosternal thyroid tissue volume, retrosternal thyroid length, thyroid anterior-posterior dimension, and mediastinal extension degree on CT are valuable in predicting the decision to perform a sternotomy in SG surgery.
