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

Background: Thyroid disorders, relatively common diseases of the endocrine system, have risen gradually in recent years. Early detection and accurate diagnosis of thyroid cancer hold exceptional importance. This study aimed to determine the efficacy of a modified TI-RADS and BRAFV600E mutation testing for thyroid cancer (PTC) diagnosis. Methods: Ninety five thyroid nodules (48 benign and 47 malignant) from 81 patients were examined using Kwak Thyroid Imaging Reporting and Data System (TI-RADS) were subjected to shear wave elasticity (SWE), BRAFV600E genotyping and fine needle aspiration (FNA) cytology. Results: The modified TI-RADS exhibited superior diagnostic accuracy compared to TI-RADS in differentiating benign nodules from malignant thyroid nodules. Moreover, the AUC of modified TI-RADS in conjunction with BRAFV600E was the highest at 95% CI (0.898-0.992, p=0.003), surpassing other diagnostic methods in enhanced sensitivity and maintaining high specificity. Conclusion: The diagnostic efficiency of this combination surpassed that of individual diagnostic methods.
