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

The present study was performed to evaluate the predictive value of contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS) for the risk of cervical lymph node metastasis (LNM) in papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). Between May 2014 and November 2016, 42 patients who received surgery for suspicious PTCs were enrolled in the present study. Each individual underwent CEUS with conventional ultrasound (US), preoperative US-guided fine needle aspiration and personalized surgery. Subsequently, the microvascular density (MVD) of all surgical specimens was measured. According to the results of surgical histopathology, individuals were divided into two groups: LNM
