1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

objectiveTo explore the risk grading method for benign thyroid nodules before microwave ablation and the clinical significance of risk grading.

methodsThis study was conducted among 527 patients undergoing ultrasound-guided microwave ablation of benign thyroid nodules between July, 2017 and December, 2020.Based on anatomic relationship of the thyroid nodules with the adjacent tissues, the ablation risk was classified into 4 levels: low, medium, high and extremely high risks.The incidence of severe complications and the rate of residual nodules following the ablation were recorded.

resultsIn the patients graded to have low, medium, high and extremely high preoperative risks, the incidences of severe complications following the ablation were 0%, 0.88%, 2.41% and 6.78%, respectively, showing no significant differences among the different risk groups (

conclusionPreoperative risk grading for thyroid nodular ablation can be helpful for prevention of severe complications during ablation and prediction of residual nodules after ablation.
