1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

objectiveFocal thyroid incidentaloma (TI) occurs in a 2% of

designWe retrospectively reviewed

resultsEighty TIs at

conclusionAll TIRADSs were reliable to stratify the risk of cancer in focal TI. Comparing their reliability in indicating FNA, we found a good performance of EU-TIRADS and K-TIRADS. Considering the high cancer percentage expected in this setting of patients, those TIRADS with higher propensity to indicate FNA should be preferred.
