Validation of Ultrasound Risk Stratification Systems for Cervical Lymph Node Metastasis in Patients with Thyroid Cancer.

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
A malignancy risk stratification system (RSS) for cervical lymph nodes (LNs) has not been fully established. This study aimed to validate the current RSS for the diagnosis of cervical LN metastasis in thyroid cancer. In total, 346 LNs from 282 consecutive patients between December 2006 and June 2015 were included. We determined the malignancy risk of each ultrasound (US) feature and performed univariable and multivariable logistic regression analyses. Each risk category from the Korean Society of Thyroid Radiology (KSThR) and the European Thyroid Association (ETA) was applied to calculate malignancy risks. The effects of size, number of suspicious features, and primary tumor characteristics were analyzed to refine the current RSS. Suspicious features including echogenic foci, cystic change, hyperechogenicity, and abnormal vascularity were independently predictive of malignancy (
