Modified Technique in Transoral Endoscopic Thyroidectomy Vestibular Approach (TOETVA).
Article in Annals of surgical oncology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
backgroundTransoral endoscopic thyroidectomy vestibular approach (TOETVA) is becoming increasingly popular in thyroid surgery. PATIENTS AND
methodsWe present the case of a 23-year-old female with right thyroid lobe carcinoma (cT1N0M0). A modified TOETVA technique was employed for right lobectomy. Key modifications included: (1) direct working space creation without epinephrine-saline solution injection or Angkoon's retractor and (2) strategic repositioning of the 5-mm trocar and minimized vestibular trauma during 10-mm trocar placement to reduce mental nerve injury risk.
resultsThe operative duration for right lobectomy was 55 min. The postoperative course was uneventful, with no cervical edema, minimal pain, and preserved cervical mobility on day one. No complications (vocal cord dysfunction, hypoparathyroidism, hemorrhage, or seroma) were observed. The patient was discharged on postoperative day 2.
conclusionsOur technical modifications demonstrated reduced operative time, diminished postoperative discomfort, and decreased temporary mental nerve injury incidence. The simplified approach using standard laparoscopic instrumentation has enhanced the procedure's accessibility across global healthcare facilities.
