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

purposeThis study aimed to investigate the diagnostic value of dual-phase enhanced computed tomography (CT) in the cervical lymph node metastasis (LNM) of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) by analyzing the dual-phase enhanced Hounsfield units (HUs) of lymph node and sternocleidomastoid muscle, and the ratio and difference.

methodsThe CT arterial-phase and venous-phase imaging data of 143 metastasis-positive lymph nodes (MPLNs) in 88 cases and 172 metastasis-negative lymph nodes (MNLNs) in 128 cases with PTC were retrospectively analyzed. All lymph nodes were confirmed by surgical pathology. The arterial-phase HU of lymph nodes (AN

resultsThe AN

conclusionIn the differential diagnosis of cervical LNM of PTC by dual-phase enhanced CT angiography, the arterial phase had higher diagnostic efficacy.
