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
purposeTo evaluate the reliability of
methodsWe evaluated all patients with thyroid nodules and indeterminate cytology from September 2015 to May 2019; nodules were classified as low risk (TIR3A) and high risk (TIR3B) according to the ICCRTC. Neck ultrasonography features according to EU-TIRADS were re-evaluated and
resultsWe included 111 patients; 67 nodules were classified as TIR3A and 44 as TIR3B. Overall, we found 27 DTCs, 57 NHs and 27 FNs. Among 73 FDG-negative nodules, we found four low-risk papillary thyroid cancers. All follicular thyroid cancers were identified by
