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

Introduction: Thyroid cancer extending to trachea has a poor prognosis. Deep tracheal invasion necessitates circumferential tracheal resection and anastomosis with thyroidectomy to achieve radical resection. Thyroid gland invasion by advanced tracheal tumors is rare. Similarly, tracheal resection with thyroidectomy is the treatment of choice for these cancers.Neck trauma that results in simultaneous damage of a tracheal segment and thyroid gland, may necessitate tracheal resection with thyroidectomy. Objectives: The aim of this study was to evaluate the oncologic and functional outcomes in patients who had undergone thyroidectomy with tracheal/cricotracheal resection anastomosis for pathologies involving both a thyroid gland and airway. Methods: This is a study that was conducted over 5 years on 11 patients who underwent thyroidectomy with tracheal/cricotracheal resection for pathologies involving both the thyroid gland and the airway (thyroid gland tumors, primary tracheal tumors, and traumatic impaction of the thyroid gland in the trachea). Results: Successful outcomes were achieved in all patients. No intraoperative complications were reported. Minor postoperative complications were reported in 1 patient, in the form of limited surgical emphysema and air leak through the drains. Conclusion: Tracheal/cricotracheal resection anastomosis represents the best compromise between oncologic radicality and postoperative quality of life. Highly skilled teams familiar with these types of airway surgery are required to achieve optimum results.
