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 analyze the accuracy and positive rate of ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration (US-FNA) cytology for detecting suspected thyroid cancer nodules of different sizes.
methodsA total of 591 patients with 594 suspected malignant thyroid nodules received examinations with US-FNA cytology. Based on their size, the nodules were divided into group I (4-5 mm), group II (6-10 mm), group III (>10 mm). With the results of pathology as the standard, we analyzed the results of US-FNA cytology for detecting thyroid carcinoma in terms of its accuracy, indeterminate rate, positive predictive value and negative predictive value for nodules of different sizes.
resultsThe positive rates in group I, group II and group III were 39.2% (40/102), 48.2% (172/357) and 65.2% (88/135), respectively, similar between groups I and II (
conclusionsThe size of the thyroid nodules can affect the positive rate but does not have significant effects on the accuracy, indeterminate rate, positive predictive value or negative predictive value of US-FNA cytology.
