Successful excision of a giant cervical mediastinal goiter by cervical collar incision and a thoracoscopic approach: a case report.

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
backgroundGiant cervicomediastinal goiter extending to the bifurcation of the trachea mostly requires median sternotomy in addition to a cervical collar incision for resection. Sternotomy provides a good operative field, although it is one of the most invasive thoracic approaches. We herein report a case of giant cervicomediastinal goiter resected by a less-invasive and highly effective method with a thoracoscopic and cervical approach. CASE PRESENTATION: A 71-year-old Japanese woman with giant cervicomediastinal goiter extending to the bifurcation of the trachea was introduced and admitted to our hospital with dyspnea. Chest computed tomography showed tumor-induced airway narrowing due to the giant goiter of the right side of the thyroid lobe. We safely performed resection of the giant goiter through a cervical collar incision and thoracoscopic approach, and this combined approach contributed to the early discharge of the patient from the hospital.
conclusionA combined approach of cervical collar incision and thoracoscopy is useful for resection of giant goiter.
