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

Purpose: To compare the diagnostic performance and unnecessary ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration (US-FNA) biopsy rate of the 2015 American Thyroid Association (ATA), 2016 Korean Society of Thyroid Radiology (KSThR), and 2017 American College of Radiology (ACR) guidelines for patients with and without Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT). Patients and Methods: This retrospective study included 716 nodules from 696 consecutive patients, which were classified using the categories defined by the three guidelines: ATA, KSThR, and ACR. The malignancy risk in each category was calculated and the diagnostic performance and unnecessary fine-needle aspiration (FNA) rates of the three guidelines were compared. Results: In total, 426 malignant and 290 benign nodules were identified. Patients with malignant nodules had lower total thyroxine levels and higher thyroid-stimulating hormone, thyroid peroxidase antibody, and thyroglobulin antibody levels than those without malignant nodules (all Conclusion: HT was associated with a higher malignancy rate of thyroid nodules with intermediate suspicion according to the ATA, KSThR, and ACR guidelines. The three guidelines, especially ACR, were likely to be more effective and could allow a greater reduction in the percentage of benign nodules biopsied in patients with HT.
