The Bethesda System for Reporting Thyroid Cytopathology (TBSRTC): A report of 2,781 cases in a Chinese population.
Article in Chinese journal of cancer research = Chung-kuo yen cheng yen chiu, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 12 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
objectiveTo evaluate the diagnostic utility of The Bethesda System for Reporting Thyroid Cytology (TBSRTC) at Peking University Cancer Hospital, the incidence of noninvasive follicular thyroid neoplasms with papillary-like nuclear features (NIFTP), and the impact of reclassification on cytopathological outcomes.
methodsWe performed a retrospective study of thyroid fine-needle aspiration (FNA) cases between April 2014 and March 2019. The FNA results were classified according to TBSRTC. Post-surgery histological findings were followed up.
resultsA total of 2,781 thyroid FNAs were performed. The incidences of the 6 diagnostic categories (DCs I-VI) were 14.8%, 17.1%, 15.8%, 2.3%, 11.6% and 38.5%, respectively. A total of 1,122 patients (40.3%) had corresponding histological results. NIFTP accounted for 0.4% of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) cases, and there was no significant difference in the risk of malignancy (ROM) for each TBSRTC DC between "NIFTP=carcinoma (Ca)" and "NIFTP≠Ca". When "NIFTP=Ca", the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), negative predictive value (NPV), and accuracy of TBSRTC were 98.0%, 84.0%, 99.4%, 58.3%, and 97.5%, respectively. When "NIFTP≠Ca", the sensitivity, specificity, PPV, NPV and accuracy of the TBSRTC were 98.1%, 81.5%, 99.3%, 61.1%, and 97.5%, respectively.
conclusionsTBSRTC is effective in the preoperative diagnosis of thyroid nodules in Peking University Cancer Hospital. The impact of the reclassification of NIFTP on cytopathological outcomes is limited because of its low incidence, and the revised ROMs are not suitable for Asian patients.
