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

backgroundOur study aims to test the diagnostic performance of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) combined with the detection of serine/threonine-protein kinase V600E (

methodsFrom January 2015 to December 2019, 244 patients were subjected to ultrasonic strain imaging and elastography, CEUS, and

resultsIn this study, the sensitivity, specificity, PPV, NPV, accuracy, and AUC of CEUS alone in predicting benign and malignant thyroid nodules were 69.8%, 94.9%, 98.6%, 37.4%, 73.8% and 0.884, respectively. The sensitivity, specificity, PPV, NPV, accuracy and AUC of

conclusionsTherefore, compared with CEUS or
