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 nodules are prevalent, estimated to affect up to 68% of the population, and the incidence increases with age. With the advances in medical imaging utilization, the detection of incidental thyroid nodules continues to rise, and given the low rate of malignancy in incidentally discovered thyroid nodules (4-15%), diagnostic guidelines are imperative for their management. Several guidelines have been developed: the most commonly used guidelines in the United States include the American Thyroid Association (ATA) Guidelines and the American College of Radiology Thyroid Imaging Reporting Data System (TI-RADS). These guidelines call for the utilization of a biopsy of nodules depending on a sonographic morphologic categorization. This article aims to briefly review these two main guidelines and discuss the techniques for ultrasound-guided biopsy of thyroid nodules.
