Diagnostic Strategies for Thyroid Nodules Based on Ultrasonographic Findings in Japan.
Review in Cancers, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 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
In recent years, the incidence of thyroid cancer has been increasing worldwide, which is believed to be mainly due to the widespread use of imaging examinations, such as ultrasonography. In this context, ultrasonography has become increasingly important because it can evaluate not only the presence or absence of nodules, but also the detailed characteristics of the nodule, making it possible to diagnose benign or malignant nodules before cytology is performed. In Japan, the third edition of the sonographic diagnostic criteria for thyroid nodules is currently widely used, and its content is similar to that of recent meta-analyses and guidelines from medical societies in other countries. In addition, since overdiagnosis of very-low-risk thyroid cancer has recently become an issue, criteria for the implementation of fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) have been published by various countries. The Japan Society of Breast and Thyroid Sonology provides guidelines for FNAC implementation for solid and cystic nodules. In the United States, the ATA, NCCA, and ACR have published guidelines, whereas in Europe, the ESMO and ETA have done the same. All of these guidelines used to classify risk are based on nodule size and sonographic findings. This article outlines the diagnostic criteria and management guidelines in Japan in comparison with those published in other countries. Case studies using actual images were also performed to examine the differences in the FNAC guidelines.
