1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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: The transoral endoscopic thyroidectomy vestibular approach (TOETVA) is a minimally invasive technique. This study aimed to compare the safety of TOETVA with fibrin sealant (Tisseel) and TOETVA with drainage. Materials and Methods: Patients who underwent TOETVA between January 2018 and December 2021 were divided into drainage ( Results: The primary outcome was the incidence of complications. The secondary outcomes were operative time and postoperative pain. There were no significant differences in patient demographics, tumor size, intraoperative blood loss, and hospitalization days between the two groups. No patient required conversion to open thyroidectomy. The incidence of complications and postoperative pain was similar in the two groups. The operative time for TOETVA with Tisseel was significantly shorter than for TOETVA with drainage ( Conclusion: TOETVA with Tisseel is a safe alternative to TOETVA with drainage, having a short operative time.
