Appropriate and accurate diagnosis of thyroid nodules: a review of thyroid fine-needle aspiration.
Article in International journal of clinical and experimental medicine, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 19 papers, 2 of them syntheses 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
Thyroid nodules are clinically palpable in 4-7% of adults in the United States. With ultrasound examination, thyroid nodules are identified in up to 70% of adults. In asymptomatic individuals, the potential for malignancy underlies the clinical importance of investigating thyroid nodules. Increased diagnostic accuracy has improved non-operative management of benign thyroid lesions. Appropriate management of thyroid microcarcinoma and large nodules remains a topic of debate. False-negative FNA cytology remains a concern for clinicians treating patients with thyroid nodules. Due to the challenge of interpreting FNA cytology and recent changes to the cytopathologic classification system, we reviewed the current literature on diagnosis of thyroid nodules using the recent Bethesda criteria.
