Recent Trends in the Clinicopathological Features of Thyroid Nodules in Pediatric Patients: A Single Tertiary Center Experience over 25 Years.
Article in International journal of endocrinology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundThe trends in pediatric patients having thyroid nodules have not been well evaluated. Here, we analyzed the clinicopathological features of the children who have presented with thyroid nodules at our center over several decades in order to determine a change of trend. MATERIALS AND
methodsWe analyzed 215 pediatric patients who had undergone a thyroidectomy between 1990 and 2014 at our single tertiary center. The clinicopathological features were analyzed according to age, sex, and the year of diagnosis.
resultsThe most common reason for hospital admission was a palpable anterior neck mass (76.7%). The males in the patient cohort were younger than the females (13 vs. 15 years old,
conclusionFollowing a thyroidectomy in children with thyroid nodules, there was no change in the rate of detection of thyroid cancer over time with age, although the detected frequency of malignancy has increased in more recent patients. Therefore, early thyroid nodule detection for malignant screening is likely to be required for pediatric patients in the near future.
