Safety and surgical outcomes of single-port trans-axillary robot-assisted thyroidectomy: Experience from a consecutive series of 300 patients.
Article in Journal of robotic surgery, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
Since the introduction of the single-port (SP) robotic system, SP trans-axillary robot-assisted thyroidectomy (SP-TART) has been performed. We aimed to evaluate the safety and surgical outcomes of SP-TART in a consecutive series of 300 cases. We analyzed 300 patients with thyroid disease who underwent SP-TART from October 2021 to May 2023 in St. Mary's Hospital in Seoul, Korea. We analyzed the patients' clinicopathological characteristics and perioperative outcomes according to surgical extent. Of the 300 cases analyzed, 250 patients underwent less than total thyroidectomy (LTT), 31 patients underwent total thyroidectomy (TT), and 19 patients underwent TT with modified radical neck dissection (TT c mRND). The mean operative times for LTT, TT, and for TT c mRND were 69.8 ± 23.6, 104.2 ± 30.7, and 223.7 ± 72.4 min, respectively. Complications, including postoperative bleeding, transient hypoparathyroidism, and vocal cord palsy, were observed in nine, six, and six LTT, TT, and TT c mRND cases. The SP-TART method is a safe and feasible surgical option with a short operative time, good surgical outcome, and excellent cosmetic results.
