THE EVALUATION OF SHORT AND LONG-TERM QUALITY OF LIFE IN PATIENTS UNDERGOING THYROIDECTOMY DUE TO BENIGN OR MALIGNANT DISEASES.

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
Context: In patients undergoing thyroidectomy for malignant disease, lower quality of life scores were observed in the early postoperative period compared to those undergoing thyroidectomy for benign causes. Objective: Thyroid gland diseases are commonly encountered in society. This study presents health-related quality of life differences in thyroidectomies performed for benign and malignant diseases and the factors affecting this. Design: Patients who underwent thyroidectomy for thyroid disease between January 2021 and January 2022 were evaluated prospectively. Subjects and Methods: The SF 36 questionnaire was applied and interpreted at the 1 Results: The study included a total of 228 patients. Among them, 171 (75%) were female (male/female: 57/171). Multinodular goiter in benign cases and papillary carcinoma in malignant cases were predominant (68.3% and 90.6%, respectively). SF-36 scores were found to be worse in the malignant group. Conclusion: In patients undergoing thyroidectomy for malignant disease, lower quality of life scores were observed in the early postoperative period compared to those undergoing thyroidectomy for benign causes.
