Evaluation of ultrasound accuracy in thyroid mass measurement and its impact on
Article in Frontiers in endocrinology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
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
Background: Thyroid mass is crucial for Methods: This retrospective study included patients who underwent thyroid US and CT scans. The differences correlation, and agreement in thyroid mass measurements between the two methods were analyzed. Data from GD patients who received their first Results: A statistically significant difference was observed in thyroid mass measurements exceeding 20 g between US and CT. (Z = -11.493, P<0.001). Despite a strong correlation between the two methods (r = 0.9809, P=0.001), the average relative error remained substantial (0.19 ± 11.65%). Poor agreement was observed between CT and US (mean bias: 16.65g; ICC = 0.179, p = 0.087). Disease duration, FT Conclusion: US may underestimate the true thyroid mass in large-mass cases; therefore, CT calibration is recommended before initiating
