Ultrasound Cine Loop Standard Operating Procedure for Benign Thyroid Diseases-Evaluation of Non-Physician Application.
Article in Diagnostics (Basel, Switzerland), 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
Conventional ultrasound (US) is time-consuming, and results are subjected to high interobserver variability. In this study, the reliability of a novel thyroid US cine loop standard operating procedure (SOP) applied by non-physicians (Medical Technical Assistant, MTA) is investigated. Thirty-three consecutive patients (22 females, 11 males) were enrolled. Patients underwent conventional thyroid US performed by a nuclear medicine physician and additional MTA US cine loop according to a local SOP that includes transversal and sagittal cine loops covering the entire thyroid. The video sequences were transferred to the Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS) for second reading purposes. MTA US data were not considered for medical reports but for blinded second reading review of the PACS images. The results of conventional physician US reports and reviewed MTA US cine loops were compared regarding size determinations of the thyroid and its nodules, as well as Thyroid Imaging Reporting and Data Systems (TIRADS) classification of all identified lesions. The results revealed very high concordance between conventional physician US and MTA US cine loop review for both size measurements and TIRADS classifications (r
