Three ultrasound phenotypes of non-invasive follicular thyroid neoplasm with papillary-like nuclear features proposed for imaging-pathology analysis: single center experience.
Article in Gland surgery, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 10 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundThe terminology "non-invasive follicular thyroid neoplasm with papillary-like nuclear features" (NIFTP) was introduced to reduce overtreatment of thyroid carcinomas with indolent behavior. However, limited literature discussed the sonographic features of the entity in depth. The objective of this study is to summarize sonographic subtypes of NIFTP for precise diagnosis.
methodsFrom January 2017 to June 2020, 13,531 consecutive patients underwent surgery for thyroid nodules were reviewed; 30 patients (0.22%) with 30 NIFTP were eligible for this retrospective observational study. We evaluated ultrasound features of all the lesions and distributed them into 3 major types of ultrasound appearance using pattern recognition. Systemic literature review concerning ultrasonography of NIFTP was also performed.
resultsAt sonography, all the NIFTP lesions were classified into three types: 19 (63.3%) were categorized into type A-oval and solid nodule without other high-suspicion features, 7 (23.3%) into type B-partially cystic mass without high-suspicion features, 4 (13.3%) into type C-hypoechoic solid nodule with high-suspicion features including irregular margins, microcalcifications, taller-than-wide shape.
conclusionsThree ultrasound patterns were proposed by us for ultrasound-cytopathology correlation analysis.
