Single-incision gasless trans-subclavian endoscopic approach thyroidectomy.

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
The main purpose of the reported endoscopic thyroidectomy with the several incisions on the chest wall or other approaches was to meet the cosmetic demands of patients, but they had inherent technical disadvantages. To solve these problems, we developed a single-incision gasless trans-subclavian approach endoscopic thyroidectomy and evaluated its feasibility. We reviewed clinical data from 243 consecutive patients who underwent gasless trans-subclavian approach endoscopic thyroidectomy with a single incision at our centre from January 2021 to March 2022. Patients' basic information, the extent of surgery, the duration of surgery, the number of lymph node dissection, postoperative hospital stay, complications, and follow-up outcomes were collected and analysed. No cases converted to open surgery. The mean time for lobectomy + central neck dissection was 84.9 ± 29.9 min and 95.0 ± 24.3 min for lobectomy. The mean number of lymph node dissection in the central compartment was 5.6 ± 3.9, with a mean number of metastatic lymph nodes of 0.8 ± 1.6. Temporary recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) injury occurred in eigth patients, and minor lymphatic fistula occurred in one patient. During at least 6 months of follow-up, one patient was found to have a recurrence of lateral neck lymph nodes by ultrasound 6 months after surgery. The single-incision gasless trans-subclavian approach endoscopic thyroidectomy is a feasible and truly minimally invasive procedure for selected patients, providing a scarless cervical appearance. Given the simplicity and ease of learning, this surgical technique is well-suited for widespread clinical application.
