Prevalence and Predictors of Malignancy in Contralateral Thyroid Lobe in Patients Undergoing Completion Thyroidectomy.

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
(1) To determine prevalence of malignancy in contralateral lobe (CL) in patients undergoing completion thyroidectomy (CT) and to study complications of CT. (2) To analyze clinical, ultrasonography(USG) findings and histopathological features of the tumor in ipsilateral lobe (IL) that could predict malignancy in CL. Retrospective chart review of 40-patients who first underwent hemi-thyroidectomy for fine-needle-aspiration (FNA) diagnosed benign lesions followed by CT between September-2017 and November-2019. Histopathology reports from both surgeries, along with patient characteristics and USGfeatures of initial hemi-thyroid lobe were reviewed. Thirty-two (80%) of the 40 patients were female. Mean age of presentation was 38.2 years (Range = 19-61years). Malignancy was found in 22(55%) contralateral-lobes of 40 completion thyroidectomies performed. Multi-focality of tumor in first surgery was only factor with significant association with presence of malignancy in CL (OR = 5.53, 95% CI 1.01-30.35, p = 0.048).In terms of USG-findings, most common suspicious feature in IL was peripheral/rim calcification,
