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

Preoperative ultrasound examination of thyroid nodules is the most economical and effective screening method for diagnosing thyroid nodules. Fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) cytology guided by ultrasound has high sensitivity and specificity in distinguishing benign and malignant thyroid nodules. However, approximately 25% of thyroid nodules cannot be determined by FNAB, and accurate differentiation of benign and malignant thyroid nodules is critical for patient prognosis. Here, we report the diagnosis and surgical treatment process of a rare patient with bilateral thyroid malignant tumor of independent origin. This patient had significantly elevated levels of calcitonin (Ctn: 130.00 pg/mL) and carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA: 16.13 ng/mL). Ultrasound shows a solid nodule on the left side of the thyroid gland, measuring 1.2*0.8*0.9cm, TI-RADS 4A; right solid nodule, 1.3*0.7*0.9 cm, TI-RADS 3. A fine needle biopsy of the left nodule showed little glandular epithelium and no evidence of malignancy. Multi-gene joint analysis of
