Fine-Needle Aspiration Under Guidance of Ultrasound Examination of Thyroid Lesions.
Article in Methods in molecular biology (Clifton, N.J.), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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
Fine-needle aspiration biopsy is the most common method for preoperative diagnosis of thyroid carcinomas including papillary carcinoma. The procedure is best performed with ultrasound by operator with professional skill and knowledge. Several guidelines recommend the indication of fine-needle aspiration concerning the pattern of ultrasound and size of nodules. Besides, fine-needle aspiration biopsy of lymph nodes should be performed if malignancies are suspected. Fine-needle aspiration biopsy of thyroid gland is mostly safe, but complications such as blood extravasation-related complications, acute thyroid enlargement, infection in thyroid gland, and pneumothorax could occur. The most frequent complications are blood extravasation-related complications, which could be fatal. Similarly, acute thyroid enlargement could also be severe. To conclude, fine-needle aspiration biopsy is useful and should be performed under the precise indication and the updated knowledge of complications including the way of handling if they occur.
