Prediction of cervical lymph node metastases in papillary thyroid microcarcinoma by sonographic features of the primary site.
Article in Cancer biology & medicine, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 19 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
objectiveTo study the sonographic features of the primary site of papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (PTMC) for the prediction of cervical lymph node metastasis during preoperative diagnosis.
methodsA total of 710 PTMC patients between 2013 and 2016 with a diagnosis of cervical lymph node metastases were reviewed. We analyzed the sonographic features of the PTMC primary site to predict ipsilateral or central lymph node metastases in univariate and multivariate models. The ratio of abutment/perimeter of the PTMC primary site was utilized to evaluate cervical lymph node status.
resultsRegarding clinical characteristics, multifocality and extrathyroidal extension were associated with cervical lymph node involvement. In the multivariate regression model, calcification and the abutment/perimeter ratio of lesions were evaluated as independent factors in level VI, ipsilateral or skip cervical lymph node metastases. The cut-off value of the ratio of abutment/perimeter of the PTMC primary site (25%) was significantly correlated with cervical lymph node metastases (
conclusionsIndependent sonographic features, including lesion size, lesion location, calcification, and the ratio of abutment/perimeter of the primary site, were associated with cervical lymph node metastases in PTMC patients.
