The incidences of postoperative hypoparathyroidism during thyroid surgery with ipsilateral central lymph node dissection for papillary thyroid carcinoma were close to that during thyroid surgery for benign thyroid diseases necessitating surgical intervention: a retrospective study.

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
Objective: This study aimed to assess the degree of effect of central lymph node dissection on postoperative hypoparathyroidism incidence. Methods: The incidence of postoperative hypoparathyroidism was compared between patients receiving thyroidectomy with central neck dissection for papillary thyroid carcinoma and those undergoing thyroidectomy for benign thyroid diseases (thyroid follicular adenoma and/or nodular goiter) necessitating surgical intervention. Results: The incidence of postoperative hypoparathyroidism was not significantly different between the groups of lobe thyroidectomy for benign thyroid diseases and lobe thyroidectomy with ipsilateral central lymph node dissection for papillary thyroid carcinoma (immediate: 9.2% vs 3.0%, P = 0.157; protracted: 4.6% vs 0%, P = 0.06; permanent: 0% vs 0%). Similarly, there was no significant difference in the postoperative hypoparathyroidism incidence between total thyroidectomy for benign thyroid diseases and total thyroidectomy with ipsilateral central lymph node dissection for papillary thyroid carcinoma (immediate: 25.0% vs 33.8%, P = 0.12; protracted: 4.5% vs 5.3%, P = 0.99; permanent: 1.1% vs 0.9%, P > 0.99). Conclusion: While the rates of postoperative hypoparathyroidism during thyroid surgery with ipsilateral central lymph node dissection may be slightly elevated compared to surgery without it for papillary thyroid carcinoma, they remained akin to those observed during surgery for benign thyroid diseases that need surgical management.
