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

backgroundThe aim of this study was to develop a template for a synoptic operative report (SOR), for thyroid surgical data, and improve interdisciplinary communication and collaboration.

methodsTwenty-five expert endocrine surgeons, endocrinologists, surgical oncology, and ear-nose-and-throat surgeons were invited to participate in a modified Delphi process. Initial domains for consideration were determined from literature review and were compatible with domains previously endorsed by the American Thyroid Association. Consensus for individual variables was predefined as mean > 70th percentile and a low disagreement index (< 1.0). An academic working party reviewed the indeterminate domains to reach a final consensus.

resultsOf 25 invited, 24 participated in the study. Two rounds of questionnaires were conducted. Consensus was reached for 39 data elements across five domains and were included in the final SOR template. A further eight data elements were shortlisted for inclusion in a secondary list of desirable but optional data elements.

conclusionWe developed a consensus-derived SOR for thyroid surgery. Future studies are required to review the uptake and utility of this template in a clinical setting. There is a literary void regarding the role of SOR for parathyroid and adrenal surgery and this could be approached with similar methodology.
