[Accuracy of two thyroid imaging, reporting and data systems for differential diagnosis of benign and malignant thyroid nodules].

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
objectiveTo compare the accuracy of two widely used thyroid imaging, reporting and data systems (TI-RADS), namely ACR TI-RADS and Kwak TI-RADS, in the differential diagnosis of benign and malignant thyroid nodules.
methodsWe reviewed the data of 350 thyroid nodules with definite diagnoses by surgical histopathology (
resultsThe AUCs of ACR TI-RADS and Kwak TI-RADS were both 0.879. For a differential diagnosis of the thyroid nodules, ACR TI-RADS had a diagnostic sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value, positive likelihood ratio, negative likelihood ratio, diagnostic odds ratio, Youden's index and accuracy of 77.3%, 89.1%, 83.0%, 85.1%, 7.101, 0.255, 27.848, 0.664 and 0.843, respectively, with an optimal threshold of TR5, as compared with 84.8%, 84.0%, 78.3%, 89.0%, 5.283, 0.181, 29.265, 0.688 and 0.843, respectively, of Kwak TI-RADS, which had an optimal threshold of 4c.
conclusionsBoth ACR TI-RADS and Kwak TI-RADS have good performance for differential diagnosis of thyroid nodules, but ACR TI-RADS has a higher specificity and a lower sensitivity compared with Kwak TI-RADS.
