Quality of life assessment in patients undergoing partial and total thyroidectomy.
Article in Revista do Colegio Brasileiro de Cirurgioes, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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.
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
introductionThyroidectomy, which consists of partial or total removal of the thyroid gland, is a commonly performed surgery to treat various thyroid diseases. In recent years, the trend has been toward partial thyroidectomies, due to their association with lower complication rates and the fact that they may be sufficient for adequate management.
objectiveTo evaluate the impact of partial and total thyroidectomy on quality of life.
methodsThis study used the ThyPro questionnaire, which assesses the quality of life of patients with thyroid disorders, to investigate the impact of different thyroidectomy approaches on patients' quality of life.
resultsThe postoperative complications were transient unilateral recurrent nerve paralysis (6.5%) and transitory hypoparathyroidism (22.4%). The quality of life outcomes after thyroidectomy were favorable. The extension of the thyroidectomy did not present statistical difference (p = 0.982). Significantly lower scores were associated with female gender and neck dissection.
conclusionQuality of life scores were high, with lower scores among women and neck dissection.
