Original article title
Comparative Effectiveness and Safety of Energy Devices for Thyroidectomy: An Outcome-Specific Network Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials.
Takeaway
A network meta-analysis favored Harmonic devices over conventional hemostasis across several thyroidectomy outcomes, including operating time and transient complications. The authors caution that these relative results do not establish overall device superiority; absolute benefit and device characteristics still matter.
Keep in mind
Network meta-analysis of randomized trials.
