The Impact of Platysma Closure on Post-Thyroidectomy Outcomes: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials.

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
Aim: This systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) compare the impact of platysma muscle layer closure technique among patients undergoing thyroidectomy in terms of postoperative outcomes, specifically pain. Methods: Five electronic databases (PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, Google Scholar, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials) were searched from inception until July 22, 2023. The Cochrane risk of bias tool 2 was employed for risk of bias (ROB) assessment. Data were pooled as mean difference (MD), standardized MD (SMD), or risk ratio (RR) based on data type (continuous or dichotomous) using RevMan software. Results: This meta-analysis included four RCTs with a total of 426 patients. Three RCTs had a low risk of bias, while one had some concern regarding bias. The overall MD of the postoperative pain score favored the non-closure group over the closure group (MD = 0.63; 95% CI: [0.09, 1.18]; Conclusion: Our findings suggest that the platysma muscle layer closure during thyroidectomy might lead to increased postoperative pain but does not significantly impact scar outcomes or postoperative complications.
