High-Score US-Suspicious Subcentimeter Thyroid Nodules: What Factors Affect Adequate Sampling of US-Guided Fine-Needle Aspiration Biopsy?
Article in International journal of endocrinology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
backgroundFine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) is diagnostic standard for thyroid nodules. However, the influence of adequate sample rate of US-guided FNAB for subcentimeter thyroid nodules is not known well.
objectivesTo assess the factors affecting adequate sample rate of US-guided FNAB for subcentimeter thyroid nodules.
methodsThree hundred and forty-nine consecutive US-guided FNAB procedures were performed in 344 patients with subcentimeter thyroid nodules. The adequate sample rate was analyzed for all nodules on the basis of nodule-related and technical factors. The factors affecting adequate sample rate of US-guided FNAB for subcentimeter thyroid nodules were determined by multivariate logistic regression.
resultsThe adequate sample rate increased with larger nodules (72.7% for 3-6 mm nodules and 84.9% for 7-10 mm nodules (
conclusionNodule size, calcification, and needle path were the determinants of sample adequacy. The adequate sample rate was higher in larger nodules, in nodules without calcification, and upon using a parallel needle path for biopsy.
