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

objectiveTo explore the changes of ultrasound features in patients with different courses of thyroid carcinoma, so as to provide a theoretical basis for the clinical treatment and diagnosis of thyroid carcinoma.

methodsA total of 160 patients with thyroid carcinoma treated in our hospital were enrolled and divided into the early stage group (n=76) and the advanced stage group (n=84) according to the results of pathological examination, and further grouped into the lymph node metastasis group (n=78) and the non-metastasis group (n=82). Another 80 patients with benign thyroid disease were enrolled as the benign group. All the enrolled subjects were subjected to ultrasound examination, and the differences of ultrasound features were compared between the different groups.

resultsThe average diameter of tumour and the proportion of nodular calcification and heterogeneous echo in the advanced stage group were significantly higher than those in the early stage group (

conclusionThere were significant differences of ultrasound features in the different courses of thyroid carcinoma. Ultrasound examination can provide important reference for later clinical diagnosis and treatment.
