Imaging Assessment and Management of Pediatric Thyroid Nodules: Emphasis on Application of 2021 K-TIRADS.
Review in Journal of the Korean Society of Radiology, 2026. 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
Pediatric thyroid cancer exhibits different clinical characteristics from those in adults, requiring a tailored approach for imaging evaluation and management. Although thyroid nodules are less common in children, they carry a higher risk of malignancy and often present with cervical lymph node or distant metastases, while long-term outcomes remain favorable. The revised 2021 Korean Thyroid Imaging Reporting and Data System (K-TIRADS) aims to reduce unnecessary biopsies by refining the ultrasound lexicons and biopsy criteria. In pediatric patients, biopsy thresholds for high-suspicion nodules have been lowered, and a risk factor-based strategy has been adopted for intermediate-suspicion nodules. This review summarizes the clinical and molecular features of pediatric thyroid cancer, outlines key updates in the 2021 K-TIRADS, and discusses important considerations for its application in children, with the aim of supporting radiologists in appropriately applying adult-based risk stratification systems in pediatric practice.
