Transoral endoscopic vestibular approach Sistrunk procedure (TEVAS)-case report and scoping review.
Article in Gland surgery, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Background: Thyroglossal duct cyst (TGDC) is the most common congenital neck mass among the pediatric population. Less than 10% of the cases occur in adults. The standard of care for TGDC is surgical treatment with the Sistrunk procedure via a traditional transverse cervicotomy. This technique involves the resection of the cyst with its tract and the central portion of the hyoid bone body to avoid recurrence. The transoral vestibular approach has gained popularity as an alternative approach to open neck surgery in order to eliminate the transcervical scar associated with these procedures. Methods: We describe a case of an endoscopic Sistrunk procedure performed by the transoral vestibular approach. A scoping review of the transoral endoscopic vestibular approach Sistrunk procedure (TEVAS) was performed. The PubMed, Medline, Cochrane, Lilacs, Scielo, Mary Ann Libert and Scopus databases were systematically searched by using a Medical Subject Heading (MeSH)-optimized search strategy. The selection of papers followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines after setting inclusion and exclusion criteria. Results: The case was successful and without complications. Five studies were included in the final analysis for this review. Conclusions: This novel approach to the Sistrunk procedure is an effective alternative way to treat TGDC in selected patients who are motivated to avoid a visible neck scar.
