Diagnostic Effectiveness of Dual Source Dual Energy Computed Tomography for Benign and Malignant Thyroid Nodules.
Article in Evidence-based complementary and alternative medicine : eCAM, 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It has been retracted, and should not be counted. 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
Objective: To evaluate the diagnostic effectiveness of dual source dual energy computed tomography (DS-DECT) for benign and malignant thyroid nodules. Methods: Between January 2019 and December 2021, 60 patients with surgically and pathologically verified thyroid nodules treated at our institution were recruited. DS-DECT was administered to all patients. The iodine content of lesioned and normal tissues, the normalized iodine concentration (NIC) and standardized CT values of benign and malignant nodules, the consistency of examination results and pathological findings, and diagnostic effectiveness were all investigated. Results: The diagnosis accuracy was the same as that of surgical pathology, producing a 100% accuracy for the 60 patients with thyroid nodules (42 were benign and 18 were malignant). The iodine content of lesioned solid tissue differed significantly from that of normal tissue, as did the iodine content of malignant and benign nodules ( Conclusion: DS-DECT is highly accurate in determining the benignity and malignancy of thyroid nodules and has a strong potential for clinical promotion to allow for prompt treatment.
