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

rationaleHürthle cell adenoma (HCA) of the thyroid is a rare thyroid tumor, and there are limited studies on the contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT). PATIENT CONCERNS: We report the case of a 63-year-old woman with gradual enlargement of the thyroid over 10 years. DIAGNOSES: Preoperative contrast-enhanced CT revealed typical lesion characteristics of HCA, confirmed by postoperative pathology.

interventionsLeft thyroidectomy and partial right thyroidectomy were performed on the patient after general anesthesia. OUTCOMES: At follow-up of 12 months after surgery, the patient was in good health without recurrence. LESSONS: The typical imaging features of HCA on contrast-enhanced CT are helpful for the early diagnosis of thyroid eosinophilic adenoma. This will provide an important basis for the preoperative diagnosis and treatment strategy of HCA of the thyroid in future.
