Modified Radical Neck Dissection for Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma via a Combined Endoscopy Approach: The Transoral Approach and the Chest Approach.
Article in Annals of surgical oncology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
backgroundRecently, modified radical neck dissection (MRND) for papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) has been performed by the transoral endoscopic approach. PATIENT AND
methodsA 35-year-old woman was diagnosed with cT1aN1bM0 right PTC (metastatic to right level III lymph nodes). The patient underwent total thyroidectomy, bilateral central neck dissection (CND), and right MRND via a combined endoscopic approach: the transoral and chest approaches. Total thyroidectomy and bilateral central neck dissection were performed via the transoral approach, similar to prior studies.
resultsThe total time for total thyroidectomy, bilateral CND, and right MRND was 190 min. The time for MRND was 90 min. The number of harvested lymph nodes were 14 in the right lateral compartments, and the number of metastatic lymph nodes were 2 in the lateral compartments. There were no major postoperative complications. The patient was completely satisfied with the cosmetic result.
conclusionsThe combined approach of the transoral and chest approaches was sufficient to perform total thyroidectomy and MRND for levels II, III, and IV.
