Effect analysis of percutaneous catheter drainage combined with radiofrequency ablation in the treatment of mixed thyroid nodules.
Trial report in Frontiers in endocrinology, 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
Objective: To compare the efficacy of ultrasound-guided percutaneous catheter drainage in the treatment of cystic thyroid mixed nodules. Methods: A total of 40 patients with cystic mixed thyroid nodules admitted to our hospital were randomly divided into the traditional ablation group (hereinafter referred to as the no-catheter ablation group) and the percutaneous catheter drainage ablation group (20 cases each). The postoperative efficacy of the two groups in the treatment of cystic benign mixed thyroid nodules was compared, including tumor size before and after treatment, treatment duration, pain, hoarseness and recurrence cases. Results: Compared with the traditional ablation group, the tumor size in the catheter drainage group was significantly reduced, the duration of treatment was shorter, the postoperative pain was lower, the number of hoarseness and tumor recurrence was less ( Conclusion: For the treatment of cystic thyroid mixed nodules, percutaneous catheter drainage is more effective than traditional ablation, and the treatment effect is better, the treatment duration is shorter, the postoperative pain is lower, the hoarseness and tumor recurrence cases are less, which is safe and effective. Through clinical study, it is a new and effective treatment method for cystic thyroid mixed nodules, which is worth popularizing.
