EU-TIRADS-Based Omission of Fine-Needle Aspiration and Cytology from Thyroid Nodules Overlooks a Substantial Number of Follicular Thyroid Cancers.
Article in International journal of endocrinology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 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 classification of nodules by Thyroid Imaging Reporting and Data Systems (TIRADS) is important in guiding management. Whether sensitivity in identifying thyroid cancers varies with thyroid cancer phenotype remains unclarified.
methodsThe ultrasound (US) characteristics of nodules of 26,908 nodular goiter patients were recorded. Fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNA) was performed in all nodules >1 cm irrespective of US findings (
resultsThe EU-TIRADS score influences decision of FNA in the 10-20 mm range. In such nodules (
conclusionsEU-TIRADS-defined suspicious US features are less common in FTC than in PTC and MTC. Therefore, a substantial number of FTCs in the 10-20 mm range escape surgery.
