1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

Hemiagenesis of the thyroid gland is a rare congenital abnormality usually left unnoticed without associated thyroid disorders. The most common congenital anomaly of the thyroid gland is a thyroglossal cyst, followed by ectopic thyroid tissue and thyroid dysgenesis, which may be agenesis or hemiagenesis. Preoperative underevaluation of the thyroid hemiagenesis (THA) associated with other thyroid disorders may cause intraoperative difficulty in identifying the gland and difficulty in preservation or even identification of major neurovascular structures during neck exploration. We report a patient who presented to us with right-sided neck swelling. On further evaluation and neck exploration, the patient was diagnosed with THA of the left lobe with right colloid goitre.
