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 Primary hyperparathyroidism is one of the most common endocrine disorders, for which the definitive treatment is surgical parathyroidectomy. Generally, surgical exploration is performed as open focused neck surgery. The vestibular route is a new approach to minimally invasive endoscopic parathyroidectomy. This retrospective study from a single center in Turkey aimed to compare surgical outcomes from the transoral endoscopic vestibular approach (TOEPVA) vs direct open parathyroidectomy in 57 patients. MATERIAL AND METHODS Our study included data from 57 patients. TOEPVA was performed in 20 of these patients who did not want a cervical scar, and focused surgery was performed in the remaining 37 patients. The variables we analyzed were size, volume, and localization of the adenoma, operative time, presence of bleeding, presence of the recurrent laryngeal nerve damage, preoperative, short-term, and long-term postoperative PTH levels, use of drain, presence of postoperative hypocalcemia, and short-term and long-term calcium levels. RESULTS No laryngeal nerve and mental nerve damage was observed in either group. The mean operative time in focused open surgery was 80.54±33.1 min, while the mean operative time in TOEPVA was 128.21±30.88 (p: 0.794) min. The mean hospitalization period of patients who underwent open surgery was 3.29±1.9 days, while the mean discharge days of patients who underwent endoscopic surgery was 2.40±1.2. (p>0.05). CONCLUSIONS TOEPVA is a safe method in patients who underwent parthyroid surgery to avoid cervical scarring.
