Changes in thyroid surgery over last 25 years.
Article in Scientific reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
In the last 25 years, there have been significant advances in the diagnosis and treatment of thyroid disorders. The aim of this study was to analyze 25 years of experience in thyroid surgery in high volume endocrine center in terms of demographic changes, indications for surgical treatment, the type of thyroid surgery and complications. Clinical material (3748 patients) from the years 1996-2020 was analyzed by compering two Periods: I (1996-2003) vs. II (2011-2015/2018-2020). The percentage of patients operated on for thyroid cancer increased (p < 0.00001) and the extent of thyroid surgery changing from partial to total excision was statistically significant (p < 0.00001). The increase in the extent of thyroidectomy did not affect the overall recurrent laryngeal nerve palsy (p = 0.1785), but resulted in an increase of postoperative clinical hypoparathyroidism (p < 0.00001). The introduction of new technologies, such as intraoperative nerve monitoring of the recurrent laryngeal nerves had a significant impact on the changes in thyroid surgery over 25 years.
