Total Thyroidectomy Versus Partial Thyroidectomy for Non-Toxic Multinodular Goiter: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials.
Review in Indian journal of surgical oncology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Thyroid follicular nodular disease (non-toxic multinodular goiter), the commonest thyroid disorder, can be managed with different surgical methods, including total thyroidectomy (TT), near-total thyroidectomy (NTT), subtotal thyroidectomy (STT), and Dunhill operation (DO). This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to provide an update on the role of TT versus NTT, STT, or DO in MNG concerning goiter recurrence, thyroid cancer incidence, and reported complications. We conducted a systematic literature search in Medline, EMBASE, and CENTRAL. We included randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that compared TT to partial thyroidectomy (NTT, STT, or DO) in the management of multinodular goiter (MNG). The following outcomes, goiter recurrence, cancer incidence, and adverse events (hypoparathyroidism and recurrent laryngeal nerve injury), were evaluated. We used the risk ratio (RR) to represent the dichotomous outcome. Subgroup analysis was performed based on the different types of partial thyroidectomy (NTT, STT, and DO). A total of 7 RCTs that included 1909 individuals were deemed eligible. TT showed significantly better results compared to PT in terms of goiter recurrence (RR = 0.05, 95% CI 0.02 to 0.13, Supplementary Information: The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s13193-024-02057-y.
