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

Postoperative hematoma is an uncommon but potentially life-threatening and unpredictable complication of thyroid surgery. We report a case of very late postoperative bleeding occurring on the eighth postoperative day (POD) in a patient undergoing right lobe thyroidectomy who had restarted antiplatelet therapy since the first POD. The patient was readmitted to the emergency department with complaints of progressive anterior neck swelling and bleeding from the wound but without respiratory distress. Under general anesthesia, cervical reexploration allowed the detection of a hematoma situated in the right thyroid bed and subhyoid region and active bleeding of the superior thyroid vascular pedicle. Although most bleeding occurs within 24 h, caution should be taken in patients who are in need of antiplatelet therapy, and close monitoring should also be advised at home after discharge.
