The value of Korean, American, and Chinese ultrasound risk stratification systems combined with BRAF(V600E) mutation for detecting papillary thyroid carcinoma in cytologically indeterminate thyroid nodules.

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
purposeTo investigate the value of Korean, American, and Chinese ultrasound risk stratification systems combined with BRAF(V600E) mutation in the detection of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC)within cytologically indeterminate thyroid nodules (CITNs).
methodsA single-center retrospective study encompassed 511 CITNs selected from 509 patients between January 2020 and July 2023.Each nodule underwent surgical treatment and was classified according to three distinct systems. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were plotted using histopathological diagnosis as the reference standard, and diagnostic performance was compared.
resultsThe three ultrasound stratification systems showed an elevated malignant risk with increasing grades (all P for trend
conclusionKorean, American and Chinese stratification systems present potential in the differential diagnosis of CITNs. BRAF (V600E) mutation can significantly improve the detection rate of malignant nodules within CTNs, particularly PTC. Notably, the American and Chinese systems demonstrate superior overall diagnostic performance among these systems.
