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

Objective: Postoperative hypoparathyroidism remains a common complication after total thyroidectomy. This study aimed to assess whether combining near-infrared autofluorescence (NIRAF) imaging with carbon nanoparticle suspension (CN) improves parathyroid gland (PG) identification and functional preservation in patients undergoing total thyroidectomy for papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). Methods: A total of 80 patients with PTC undergoing total thyroidectomy with central neck dissection (CND) were randomly divided into two groups. The CN group ( Results: The NIRAF + CN group identified significantly more PGs than the CN group (147/160 [91.9%] vs. 135/160 [84.4%], Conclusions: The combined use of NIRAF and CN enhances intraoperative PG preservation and improves early parathyroid function.
