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

objectiveThis study aimed to summarize and explore how to establish a good surgical space via a gasless transoral endoscopic thyroidectomy vestibular approach (TOETVA) to facilitate smooth surgical progress.

methodsThis study was conducted between January 2022 and December 2023. The study involved 281 patients with papillary thyroid carcinoma who underwent gasless TOETVA at The First Affiliated Hospital of the University of Science and Technology of China. The suspension method was used to establish the surgical space during the operation. The key steps and difficulties of surgical space construction were summarized, and the clinicopathological characteristics and surgical complications of the patients were analyzed.

resultsThe mean surgical duration was 167.86 ± 25.38 min, and the time needed to create the surgical space (from incision of the lip mucosa to incision of the anterior border of the neck) was 17.82 ± 9.44 min. During the construction of the surgical space, there was 1 case of thermal skin burn and 2 cases of bleeding from the anterior jugular vein, with no permanent injury to the mental nerve.

conclusionIn the gasless TOETVA, the suspension method of surgical space construction was employed to rapidly establish a stable three-dimensional operating space that was less prone to collapse, thus facilitating the smooth implementation of subsequent surgical procedures.
