A shift to more targeted thyroidectomies increased the detection of thyroid cancer and in particular low-risk papillary tumors in Southwestern Greece the decade 2007 to 2016.

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
objectivesData regarding thyroid cancer (TC) epidemiology in Greece in the last decade are scarce, so we investigated the trends in TC detection during 2007 to 2016.
methodsWe retrospectively studied 2040 pathology reports of total thyroidectomies performed at our institution from 2007 to 2016.
resultsA number of 478 cases of TC were identified in the studied decade. The overall incidence of TC among thyroidectomies rose over the years. The proportion of papillary T1 tumors among thyroidectomies increased in the second period of our study (2012-2016), while that of papillary T2 to T4 tumors and other TC subtypes remained unchanged. Papillary T1 tumors represented 63.6% of all TC cases and 75.3% of them were low-risk microcarcinomas (papillary thyroid microcarcinoma). The strategy of fine needle aspiration (FNA) prior to surgery in the management of thyroid nodules was adopted by more clinical endocrinologists in the area of Southwestern (SW) Greece in the second period of our study (2012-2016:29.7% vs 2007-2011:18.4%,
conclusionsThe wider use of FNA in the triage of thyroid nodules led to increased rates of TC in thyroidectomies performed in SW Greece during the decade 2007 to 2016; low-risk, small papillary tumors represented the majority of TC cases.
