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
The focal point of thyroidectomy surgery has always been to reduce the incidence of inadvertent damage to the recurrent laryngeal nerve(RLN). The intracapsular thyroidectomy is one such technique with minimum chance of injuring the nerve. To compare retrospectively the surgical outcomes between the two methods of thyroidectomy-coventional thyroidectomy Vs intracapsular thyroidectomy. Materials and methods-55 cases of benign thyroid disease for whom thyroidectomy was performed in our hospital between the period of 2019-2022 were compared retrospectively. Out of these 34 cases had undergone intracapsular thyroidectomy and 21 cases underwent routine extracapsular thyroidectomy. The surgical outcomes including operation time, pain, postoperative infection, postoperative hypocalcemia, postoperative recurrent laryngeal nerve paralysis and mean hospital stay were analyzed. The mean operating time were very low in the intracapsular limb as compared to the other group. The pain and the mean hospital stay was also far lesser for the intracapsular limb. Both cohorts had no incidence of hypocalcemia. The incidence of recurrent laryngeal nerve palsy was very low in the intracapsular cohort (only 1 case of temporary unilateral RLN palsy), whereas it was higher in the routine extracapsular cohort (5 cases of permanent palsy). The risk of having vocal cord palsy (left/right) is 1.172 times more with conventional/standard thyroidectomy as compared to intracapsular thyroidectomy. Intracapsular technique is a much more rewarding method to perform thyroidectomy, without the risk of the recurrent laryngeal nerve palsy as compared to routine thyroidectomy.
