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

backgroundSurgical treatment for giant thyroid tumors is complex and carries a high risk of complications. Visualization of the tumor shape and its associations with the surrounding tissue are difficult with two-dimensional imaging techniques. It is thus important to explore more effective approaches for preoperative evaluation and surgical assistance. CASES PRESENTATIONS: Three patients with giant thyroid tumors underwent successful surgery with no complications at Liaocheng People's Hospital, between January and December 2024. One patient was a 58-year-old male, while the other two were 60-year-old female patients. All the patients are Chinese, both in nationality and ethnicity. We combined tumor imaging information with three-dimensional medical imaging to enable visualization for preoperative assessment, guiding successful surgical planning.

conclusionsThe application of three-dimensional medical imaging during surgery for giant thyroid tumors significantly enhanced the accuracy, safety, and efficiency of surgery, resulting in improved patient outcomes and prognosis.
