Follicular Growth Pattern Disease on Thyroid Fine-needle Aspiration Biopsy
Article in Balkan medical journal, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 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
Thyroid nodules are a common worldwide health problem and a diagnostic challenge for clinicians and cytopathologists. Follicular growth pattern constitutes the majority of thyroid lesions. Thyroid nodules can be neoplastic or non-neoplastic, and neoplastic nodules can be classified as benign, malignant, or gray zone. Gray zone lesions include different benign and malignant entities that might be resulted in unnecessary thyroidectomies with risk of morbidity and higher health care costs. Depending on the cellularity, most cases might fall into the follicular neoplasia (FN)/ suspicious for FN (SFN) category or follicular lesion of undetermined significance (FLUS) in The Bethesda System for Reporting Thyroid Cytopathology (TBSRTC). Pathologists must be aware of the relationship between this diagnostic category and follow-up patient management and avoid over-diagnosing by mastering the diagnostic criteria.
