Horner's Syndrome as a Rare Complication of Thyroidectomy With Central Neck Dissection: A Case Report and Review of Potential Mechanisms.
Article in Cureus, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Horner's syndrome (HS) is characterized by miosis, ptosis, enophthalmos, anhidrosis, and vascular dilation on one side of the face, resulting from an interruption in the oculosympathetic pathway. Here, we present a 55-year-old female patient diagnosed with thyroid carcinoma metastasis via fine-needle aspiration biopsy of the right supraclavicular lymph node. She underwent total thyroidectomy and right central lymph node dissection. On the first postoperative day, the patient developed right-sided miosis and upper eyelid ptosis, leading to a diagnosis of HS. Although this rare complication following thyroid surgery has been reported, its exact mechanism remains unclear. We attribute this occurrence to cervical sympathetic chain injury during aggressive central dissection.
