Diagnostic accuracy of single-source dual-energy computed tomography and ultrasonography for detection of lateral cervical lymph node metastases of papillary thyroid carcinoma.
Article in Journal of thoracic disease, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 16 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
backgroundDual-energy computed tomography (DECT) imaging can generate iodine-based material decomposition (MD) images and spectral HU curve. This study aimed to investigate the diagnostic accuracy of single-source dual-energy CT (DECT) and ultrasonography (US) for detecting lateral cervical lymph node metastases of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC).
methodsThirty patients with PTC were enrolled in the study and underwent DECT and US examination before thyroidectomy and cervical lymph node dissection. The spectral parameters included iodine concentration (IC), normalized iodine concentration (NIC) and slope (λ
resultsNinety-nine lymph nodes from thirty patients were pathologically confirmed. Among them, 70 (70.7%) were metastatic. For single GSI parameters, ROC analysis showed that the area under the curve (AUC) for IC was the highest (AUC =0.937) but the difference was not statistically significant when compared with NIC or slope (λ
conclusionsCombined GSI parameters showed better diagnostic accuracy in lateral cervical lymph node metastasis of PTC compared with that of combined US morphological parameters. IC alone showed excellent diagnostic stability and could be performed easily.
