The Bethesda System for Reporting Thyroid Cytopathology: A Cytohistological Study.
Article in Journal of thyroid research, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 27 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
introductionThe Bethesda System for Reporting Thyroid Cytopathology (TBSRTC) is a significant step to standardize the reporting of thyroid fine needle aspiration (FNA). It has high predictive value, reproducibility, and improved clinical significance.
aimThe study was aimed to evaluate the diagnostic utility and reproducibility of "TBSRTC" at our institute.
resultsThe distribution of cases in various TBSRTC categories is as follows: I-nondiagnostic 13.8%, II-benign 75.9%, III-atypia of undetermined significance (AUS)/follicular lesion of undetermined significance (FLUS) 1.2%, IV-follicular neoplasm (FN)/suspicious for follicular neoplasm (SFN) 3.7%, V-suspicious for malignancy (SM) 2.6%, and VI-malignant 2.8%. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, and diagnostic accuracy are 72.4%, 94.3%, 84%, 89.2%, and 87.9%, respectively. The ROM of various TBSRTC categories were II-8.5%; III-66.7%; IV-63.6%; and V and VI-100%. Cohen's Weighted Kappa score was 0.99 which indicates almost perfect agreement among the three pathologists.
conclusionsOur study substantiates greater reproducibility among pathologists using TBSRTC to arrive at a precise diagnosis with an added advantage of predicting the risk of malignancy which enables the clinician to plan for follow-up or surgery and also the extent of surgery.
