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 number of significant incidental findings identified on radiographic examinations has increased. In total, 169 patients, 87 males and 82 females, with a mean age of 67.3 years (range, 17-92 years), as well as 65 patients (38.5%), 43 (66.2%) female and 22 (33.8%) male had abnormal findings in the thyroid for one year in our institution. Thyroid nodules are the most common incidental findings on oral and maxillofacial evaluations. Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examination are frequently used to detect thyroid abnormality. The present study reported a case of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) detected following CT and MRI examination of a mandibular lesion. The CT examination of the oral and maxillofacial region included the thyroid, which must be examined carefully to detect various diseases, including PTC. Collaboration between radiologists and clinicians is important to manage these incidental findings.
