Pitfalls in Thyroid Cytopathology.
Review in Surgical pathology clinics, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 23 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
Fine-needle aspiration (FNA) is among the first diagnostic tools used in the evaluation of thyroid nodules. It has the ability to triage patients with benign and malignant lesions, thus defining the optimum clinical and/or surgical management. The Bethesda System for Reporting Thyroid Cytopathology has found worldwide acceptance. Thyroid FNA offers high positive predictive value (97%-99%), with sensitivities and specificities of 65% to 99% and 72% to 100%, respectively. Nonetheless, many potential diagnostic pitfalls exist that can lead to false-positive and/or false-negative results. This article discusses several of the potential pitfalls in the cytologic evaluation of thyroid lesions.
