Multicentricity Is More Common in Thyroid Papillary Microcancer with a Preoperative Diagnosis Compared to Incidental Microcancer.
Article in European thyroid journal, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
objectiveAlthough multicentricity is a common feature of thyroid papillary microcancer, it might be difficult to predict this histopathological feature preoperatively.
methodsThe records of 306 papillary microcancer patients who underwent thyroidectomy were evaluated. Papillary microcancer was diagnosed as an incidental histopathological finding in 242 (group 1), and by preoperative fine-needle aspiration biopsy in 64 (group 2). Demographic data and histopathological features were compared between the two groups.
resultsAge (44 ± 11.4 vs. 43 ± 14 years) and male/female ratio (44/193 vs. 12/52) showed no significant difference between groups 1 and 2 (p > 0.05). Mean tumor size was significantly larger in group 2 (5.2 ± 2.8 mm) compared to group 1 (3.7 ± 2.4 mm) (
conclusionMulticentricity with bilateral lobar involvement and aggressive histopathological features are more frequent in papillary microcancer patients diagnosed with preoperative fine-needle aspiration biopsy compared to papillary microcancer diagnosed as postoperative incidental histopathological finding.
