Predictors and Preventive Strategies of Bleeding After Thyroid Surgery.
Review in Cureus, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It has been retracted, and should not be counted. 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
Postoperative compressive neck hematoma occurs in approximately 0.1% to 1.7% of cases, most occurring within the first six hours after surgery. Thyroid pathology, patient predisposition, and surgical technique are major risk factors for postoperative hematoma. This narrative review describes current perspectives on predicting and preventing bleeding following thyroid surgery. Predictors of bleeding after thyroid surgery include patient-related factors such as male sex and age, surgery-related factors like total thyroidectomy and operations for thyroid malignancy, and surgeon-related factors. Hemostasis is the primary focus after preserving critical structures in thyroid surgery. The clamp-and-tie technique has been the standard method for dividing the thyroid gland's main vascular pedicles for many years. Bipolar electrocautery has been used for vessels of small size. However, advanced bipolar and ultrasound energy and hybrid devices are now available options that may reduce operative time without increasing costs or complications. In cases where small bleeders close to critical structures are present and the clamp-and-tie technique is not feasible, hemostatic agents are commonly used. Drains do not appear to provide any significant benefits in preventing the sequelae of bleeding after thyroid surgery.
