Added Value of Computed Tomography to Ultrasonography for Assessing LN Metastasis in Preoperative Patients with Thyroid Cancer: Node-By-Node Correlation.
Article in Cancers, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
Diagnostic accuracy of US in the evaluation of lymph node (LN) metastasis for thyroid cancer patients is limited. We investigated the value of CT added to US for characterizing LNs in preoperative thyroid cancer patients by node-by-node correlation. A total of 225 primary thyroid cancer patients who underwent LN biopsy were included. Based on node-by-node correlation, 274 LNs were classified into probably benign, indeterminate, and suspicious categories on US, CT, and combined US/CT. Malignancy risks were calculated for each category and were compared between US/CT concordant and discordant cases. On US, CT, and combined US/CT, malignancy risks were 1.7%, 8.7%, and 0% in the probably benign category, 22.4%, 5.9%, and 8.0% in the indeterminate category, and 77.2%, 82.0%, and 75.6% in the suspicious category, respectively. Malignancy risk of the concordant suspicious category was higher than that of the discordant suspicious category (84.7% vs. 43.2%,
