Thyroid Obstacle During Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion: When to Call Your ENT Surgeon Fellow? A Scoping Review of Individual Patient Data.
Review in Asian journal of neurosurgery, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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
Anterior cervical discectomy and fusion for single-level degenerative disease is a common spine surgery procedure, and thyroid lobectomy is a frequent ENT surgery procedure for symptomatic goiter as well. Exceptionally, a pathological thyroid obstacle may hamper a safe surgical approach to the anterior cervical spine. In such a case, staged surgery or a combined four-hand procedure can both be proposed. This review aims to summarize current knowledge regarding single-staged combined surgery for thyroid disease and cervical spine surgery by the anterior approach. Scoping review on the Medline database from inception to January 2025 concerning combined surgical management of thyroid disease and single-segment cervical spine degenerative disease, illustrated by a case managed in our institution. This review yielded four patients included the present case, with a mean age of 52.5 (±7.9) years old, and a male-to-female sex ratio of 3/1. In 50% (
