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

purposeTo explore modified parameters of the American College of Radiology Thyroid Imaging Reporting and Data System (TI-RADS) for evaluating contralateral nodules based on preoperative ultrasound features of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) in the suspected lobe, thus guiding the management of bilateral PTC.

methodsWe retrospectively analyzed 389 consecutive patients with PTC (272 in training set, 117 in validation set) who underwent total thyroidectomy from March 2020 to March 2022. According to their postoperative pathological data, the patients were divided into unilateral and bilateral PTC groups. The clinicopathological features and sonographic characteristics of suspected nodules were compared between the groups, and further ultrasonic characteristics of TI-RADS grade (TR grade)-underestimated nodules were analyzed.

resultsPatients with a body mass index of ≥25 kg/m

conclusionThe modified TI-RADS classification based on the suspected lobe may facilitate effective preoperative malignant risk stratification of contralateral nodules in bilateral PTC.
