Expanding the Limits of Robotic Thyroidectomy: Management of a Rare Presentation of Thyroid Carcinoma With Supraglottic Extension.
Article in World journal of otorhinolaryngology - head and neck surgery, 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
Thyroid carcinoma ranks as the seventh most common malignancy globally by incidence, though its mortality remains relatively low. We present a rare case of papillary thyroid carcinoma in a 32-year-old male, with supraglottic extension of the right thyroid lobe, managed successfully using a robotic-assisted bilateral axillo-breast approach (BABA). The total operative duration was 4 h, and the postoperative course was uneventful, with early recovery and excellent cosmetic outcome. Histopathology confirmed multifocal papillary thyroid carcinoma (mpT2N1b) with central and right selective neck node metastases. This case expands the boundaries of robotic thyroidectomy, demonstrating its feasibility and safety even in anatomically challenging scenarios. It emphasizes the potential need to revise current selection criteria as surgical expertise and robotic precision continue to evolve.
