1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

A 55-year-old woman was referred for a suspicion of mediastinal tumor through plain X-ray photography (X-P). Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed a 3 cm diameter tumor which seemed to connect to the thyroid and projected into the mediastinum. A fine needle aspiration biopsy was tried but could not reach a conclusive diagnosis. Thereby, fluorine-18-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (F-FDG-PET) was performed and a high accumulation was revealed with standardized uptake value (SUV) of 3.8. Thus, the right lobe excision procedure was enforced. The obtained tumor was continuous to the right lobe as expected. Microscopically, the encapsulated tumor consisted of atypical large-sized follicles without malignant characteristics. Thus, histological diagnosis was follicular thyroid adenoma.Thus, follicular adenoma of thyroid could present negative iodine-123-radioisotope (I-RI) uptake and positive F-FDG-PET accumulation.
