A case series of ultrasound and pathological assessment of follicular thyroid tumors: Addressing indeterminate malignancy.
Article in Medicine, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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.
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
rationaleFollicular tumors with uncertain malignant potential of the thyroid are a new classification of thyroid tumors in the World Health Organization (2017). Only a few cases of evaluating the value of ultrasound combined with pathological examination in diagnosing follicular tumors with uncertain malignant potential of the thyroid have been reported in recent decades. PATIENT CONCERNS: A retrospective analysis was performed on 18 patients with follicular tumors with uncertain thyroid malignant potential who underwent preoperative ultrasonography and were confirmed by operation and pathology in our hospital from January 2019 to November 2024. Ultrasonic characteristics, histopathology, and immunohistology were recorded. DIAGNOSES: The patient was pathologically diagnosed as follicular tumor of uncertain malignant potential.
interventionsAll the 18 patients underwent ultrasound, surgical treatment and immunohistochemical staining in our hospital. OUTCOMES: The patients underwent surgery. There was no complication or recurrence. LESSONS: This case series indicates that the ultrasonographic manifestations of follicular tumors with uncertain thyroid malignant potential were regular and well-defined hypoechoic thyroid masses with an elastic grade of 2. The pathological characteristics were positive expression of P53, TG, CD56, Ki67, TTF-1, and Gal-3 mutations in most lesions.
