The impact of gasless insufflation transaxillary endoscopic thyroidectomy on the parathyroid gland injury in patients with thyroid cancer: a retrospective analysis.

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: Recently, endoscope has been widely used in thyroid surgery and gasless insufflation transaxillary endoscopic thyroidectomy (GTET) has been the mainstay of thyroid surgery. Parathyroid gland (PG) damage is a common complication of thyroid surgery. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of GTET on hypoparathyroidism (HPT) in patients with thyroid cancer. Methods: According to the surgical approach, the patients were divided into a GTET group and a conventional open thyroidectomy (COT) group. Univariate analysis and logistic regression were used to identify factors associated with PG injury. The odds ratio (OR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) for each independent variable were calculated. Results: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 405 patients diagnosed with papillary thyroid cancer (PTC). A total of 51 patients experienced PG injury, including 7 cases (5%) of GTET group and 44 cases (16.5%) of COT group (P<0.001). Among them, the incidence of GTET group injury with one PG was 50.4%, two were 2.9%, and COT group were 59.8% and 7.9%, respectively (P=0.006). Univariate and multivariate analysis revealed that GTET was a protective factor for PG injury (OR, 0.251; 95% CI, 0.110-0.576; P=0.001), while Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT) was identified as a risk factor for PG injury (OR, 2.722; 95% CI, 1.114-6.654; P=0.02). Conclusions: GTET reduces the incidence of PG injury and nerve injury, when PTC is combined with HT, it increases the risk of PG injury.
