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

Thyroid carcinoma is a type of cancer that starts in the cells of the thyroid gland, which plays a crucial role in regulating the body's metabolism. Thyroid cancer can manifest in various forms. We report the case of an 89 year-old patient presenting an incidental intense Fluorine-18-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) PET-computed tomography (PET-CT) uptake within a thyroid lesion and the role of 18F-FDG PET-CT guiding the anatomopathological examination. The prevalence of FDG-avid thyroid incidentaloma ranges between 0.2% and 8.9%. Higher risks of cancer seems to be related to focal or unilateral uptake of 18F-FDG. Lesions with higher standardized uptake values or suspicious CT are more likely to be cancers. The diagnosis is clinically challenging. Nuclear and radiological images can guide practitioners.
