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

Introduction: We previously made a detailed expansion to the gasless transaxillary endoscopic thyroidectomy(GTET) procedure described in the previous literatures. In this study, we optimized the procedure focused on the limitation of the approach in terms of trauma and lymph node dissection and made a comparison with the early procedure. Materials and methods: This paper gave a detailed description of the updated procedure and prospectively collected data about patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma(PTC) performed by the two procedures from December 2020 to April 2023. The differences in surgical outcome, surgical trauma and parathyroid gland(PG) function protection were analyzed. Results: Of the 302 patients, 184 underwent with early procedure(EP), and 118 underwent with updated procedure(UP). The surgical outcomes of operative time, time of thyroidectomy and central neck dissection, blood loss, drainage and postoperative hospital stay were shorter in UP than that of the EP. The mean number of lymph nodes retrieved and weight of dissection lymphatic tissue in the UP were significantly more than that in EP without increasing the mean number of metastatic lymph nodes. Postoperative complications did not differ between the two procedures. The UP had more advantages in the identification and preservation of the superior parathyroid gland, however, it did not improve the preservation Conclusion: The UP of GTET could perform safely and efficiently while reducing surgical trauma in selected patients.
