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

Background: Robotic thyroidectomy has shown good acceptance results and improved cosmetic outcomes. This study aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of bilateral axillary-breast approach (BABA) robotic thyroidectomy compared with conventional open surgery for the treatment of thyroid cancer. Methods: The clinicopathological features and surgical outcomes of 73 papillary thyroid cancer patients treated by robotic surgery using the BABA approach and 62 papillary thyroid cancer patients treated by open surgery in our department from January 2024 to January 2025 were analyzed and compared. Results: The operation time was longer in the robotic group than in the open surgery group ( Conclusions: Compared with open surgery, BABA robot radical thyroid cancer surgery with lymph node dissection is safety and efficacy, and have advantages such as less intraoperative blood loss, no neck scar. Especially in lateral cervical lymph node dissection, robotic surgery has obvious advantages.
