Usage and Diagnostic Yield of Fine-Needle Aspiration Cytology and Core Needle Biopsy in Thyroid Nodules: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Literature Published by Korean Authors.
Article in Clinical and experimental otorhinolaryngology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 11 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
objectivesThe usefulness of core needle biopsy (CNB) for the diagnosis of thyroid nodules remains controversial, and preferences vary across hospitals. The purpose of this study was to assess the actual use of CNB in Korea and to analyze the advantages and disadvantages of CNB through a systematic review and meta-analysis of papers published by Korean authors.
methodsA meta-analysis of full-text publications published in English presenting data from Korea retrieved from the Embase literature database was performed.
resultsCNB led to a significantly lower proportion of non-diagnostic results than fine-needle aspiration (FNA). However, the frequency of atypia of undetermined significance/follicular lesion of undetermined significance (AUS/FLUS) did not decrease as a result of performing CNB in nodules with initial AUS/FLUS results while it increased in consecutive cases. A subcategory analysis of AUS/FLUS showed that the increased frequency of AUS/FLUS findings on CNB was due to more frequent diagnoses of architectural atypia and follicular neoplasm, which resulted in a higher frequency of inconclusive findings in consecutive cases compared to FNA. Hospitals favoring CNB had a higher proportion of AUS/FLUS diagnoses. Although the complication rate did not differ significantly between CNB and FNA, serious complications of CNB did occur.
conclusionA reduced frequency of non-diagnostic results may be a definite advantage of CNB over FNA. However, the increased frequency of diagnoses of architectural atypia and follicular neoplasm should be considered when selecting CNB as a diagnostic tool.
