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

Purpose: Intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring (IONM) has been introduced in thyroid surgery to prevent injury of the recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN). However, its effectiveness remains controversial in robotic thyroidectomy (RT). This study aimed to compare the surgical outcome of RT in patients with and without the application of IONM. Methods: This retrospective case-control study included 100 patients who underwent total thyroidectomy via robotic bilateral axillo-breast approach in a tertiary center. A study group of 50 patients who had IONM during RT was compared to a control group of 50 patients who underwent RT with nerve visualization alone. Results: The sex ratio (4:45 Conclusion: We did not demonstrate a clear advantage of IONM in RT. Controversies regarding the effectiveness of IONM is not closed.
