Novel suspension system for gasless transoral vestibular thyroidectomy.
Article in Surgical endoscopy, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
backgroundThe transoral endoscopic thyroidectomy vestibular approach (TOETVA) is receiving increased attention, frequently due to growing requirements for cosmetic incisions. Here, we report our initial experience and discuss the safety and efficacy of the innovative surgical working space suspension system for gasless TOETVA.
methodsWe retrospectively analyzed 75 consecutive patients for whom gasless TOETVA with our novel working space suspension system was used. This suspension system included self-developed retractors, a sterile bandage, and an anesthesia stand. We also improved some main surgical instruments in gasless TOETVA.
resultsThe study included 75 patients who successfully underwent thyroidectomy and central neck dissection via gasless TOETVA. The mean operating time was 143.27 ± 34.60 min. The mean number of retrieved lymph nodes was 8.00 ± 5.39. Conversion to open surgery did not occur, nor did patients exhibit serious postoperative complications. Postoperative complications included 4 cases of transient recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) palsy, 9 of transient hypoparathyroidism, and 3 of transient mental nerve injury. One patient with subcutaneous fluid after surgery recovered after aspiration. Another patient with submental minor perforation recovered well after suturing. There was no evidence of specific complications related to self-designed retractors.
conclusionThe innovative working space suspension system for gasless TOETVA provided enough and stable working space and optimized the clarity of the surgical field without CO
