1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

objectiveThyroid cancer is the most common primary malignant disorder of the thyroid. We aimed to illustrate the modified TI-RADS report system for differentiating malignant thyroid nodules from benign ones, and especially its role in the management of high risk nodules.

methodsIn this retrospective study, 5,162 healthy individuals who underwent thyroid ultrasound according to modified TI-RADS from January 2014 to December 2014 were enrolled and followed up during the whole 5 years, and the medical data were investigated and reviewed.

resultsThe total detection rate of thyroid nodules was 39.40%. The total detection rate of thyroid cancer was 0.66%. Most thyroid cancers were single-shot, located at unilateral, at early clinical stages, without lymph node metastases, and with low recurrence risk. All patients had thyroid papillary carcinoma, except one thyroid medullary carcinoma. Based on modified TI-RADS classification, at the end of 5 years follow-up, more changes of thyroid nodules grade status were observed in grades 4a and above. The higher the grade status, the more malignant advances were occurred. The modified TI-RADS report system played an instructional role in adding medical treatment choice and decision for clinicians.

conclusionThe modified TI-RADS report system plays an important role in thyroid benign and malignant nodule identification and management.
