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 Korean Society of Radiology and the National Evidence-based Healthcare Collaborating Agency developed guidelines for primary imaging tests and appropriate biopsy methods for thyroid nodules. These guidelines were developed using an adaptation process by collaboration between the development committee and the working group. The development committee, composed of research methodology experts, established the overall plan and provided support about methodological strategies. The working group, composed of radiologist experts in thyroid imaging, wrote the proposals. The guidelines recommend neck ultrasound (US) as a first-line imaging modality for the diagnosis of thyroid nodules in patients with suspected nodules, and US-guided fine-needle aspiration as a primary method for histologic examination of thyroid nodules.
