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

introductionMolecular tests can contribute to improve the preoperative diagnosis of thyroid nodules. Tests available are expensive and not adapted to different populations.

aimThis study aimed to compare the cyto-histological genetic profile and to evaluate the reliability of molecular tests using ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration cytology (US-FNAC) in accurately diagnosing differentiated thyroid carcinomas (DTCs) and predicting biologic behavior of papillary thyroid carcinomas (PTCs). MATERIALS AND

methodsThe series included 259 patients with paired cyto-histological samples totaling 518 samples. The genetic alterations were analyzed via PCR/Sanger sequencing. The association with clinicopathologic features was evaluated in PTCs. RESULTS/DISCUSSION: From the 259 patients included, histologies were 50 (19.3%) benign controls and 209 (80.7%) DTC cases, from which 182 were PTCs; cytologies were 5.8% non-diagnostic, 18.2% benign, 39% indeterminate, and 37.1% malignant. In histology, indeterminate nodules (
