Prediction of cervical lymph node metastasis with contrast-enhanced ultrasound and association between presence of BRAF
Article in Therapeutic advances in medical oncology, 2020. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 22 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
objectiveThis study aimed to evaluate the correlation between cervical lymph node metastasis (CLNM) and each of the ultrasound features, immunohistochemical factors, and B-type Raf (BRAF
methodsA retrospective analysis was performed on 405 patients with single papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) nodules, all of whom underwent preoperative sonographic examinations, including gray-scale ultrasound, color Doppler ultrasound, and contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS). All PTC patients were evaluated using 14 clinical and sonographic features, eight immunohistochemical factors, and BRAF
resultsAmong the 405 PTC nodules removed surgically, CLNM was confirmed in 138 patients, whereas extrathyroidal extension was confirmed in 185 patients. Multivariate analyses indicated significant differences between CLNM and non-CLNM groups in three conventional ultrasound features (
conclusionIntensity at peak time, homogeneity, and size are the three most significant features in predicting CLNM in PTC patients, and the presence of the BRAF
