Incidence and malignancy rates classified by The Bethesda System for Reporting Thyroid Cytopathology (TBSRTC) - An 8-year tertiary center experience in Thailand.
Article in Journal of clinical & translational endocrinology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 papers.
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
Incidence and Malignancy Rates Classified by The Bethesda System for Reporting Thyroid Cytopathology (TBSRTC) - An 8-year Tertiary Center experience in Thailand.
backgroundFine-needle aspiration (FNA) of the thyroid is considered the best diagnostic tool for preoperative evaluation of thyroid nodules. The introduction of
aimTo assess the effectiveness of TBSRTC method at our institution using cyto-histological correlation.
methodA retrospective 8-year (2010-2017) audit of thyroid FNA done by thyroid specialists at Theptarin hospital. The FNA results were classified according to TBSRTC. Histopathology reports for operated cases were used to correlate cytology and final histopathology.
resultsA total of 2735 thyroid FNA from 2115 patients (mean age 45.7 ± 13.1 years, female 89.8%) were examined. The rates of non-diagnostic, benign, atypia of undetermined significance (AUS), follicular neoplasm, suspected for malignancy, and malignant cases were 21.1%, 66.6%, 4.7%, 2.4%, 1.8%, and 3.3% respectively. There were 188 patients (9%) who underwent surgical resection with available histopathology. Malignancy rates in operated thyroid nodules were 20.0%, 4.2%, 9.4%, 23.5%, 57.1%, and 90.3% for categories 1 to 6, respectively. The sensitivity, specificity, negative predictive value, and positive predictive value were 96.6%, 88.5%, 95.8%, and 90.3, respectively.
conclusionsPreoperative diagnosis of thyroid nodules using TBSRTC in our hospital was comparable with other studies. The uniform diagnostic criteria of the Bethesda System help avoid misinterpretation while sharing local experience with international benchmarks.
