Follicular-patterned tumors of the thyroid: the battle of benign vs. malignant vs. so-called uncertain.
Review in Endocrine pathology, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
This article will review the controversial area of follicular-patterned thyroid tumors. The literature is discussed with emphasis on pathologic diagnosis and the criteria for malignancy. In addition, the current state of knowledge regarding molecular markers and their utility in diagnosing benign from malignant nodules is described. Finally, the apparent lack of consistency with regard to results of certain immunohistochemical markers is included.
