Optimizing frozen section sampling for thyroid follicular neoplasms through intraoperative ultrasound guidance.
Trial report in European thyroid journal, 2026. 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
objectiveTo investigate the clinical value of intraoperative high-frequency ultrasound in assessing the capsular continuity of thyroid follicular neoplasms and to evaluate its feasibility in guiding optimal frozen section sampling during surgical resection to improve diagnostic accuracy.
methodsPatients who were scheduled for surgical resection for thyroid follicular neoplasms were prospectively enrolled and randomized into a control group or an experimental group. In the experimental group, the excised specimens underwent comprehensive intraoperative high-frequency ultrasonography to identify areas suspected of capsular invasion, thereby guiding precise sampling for intraoperative frozen section analysis. The value of this method was assessed using permanent histopathology as the gold standard.
resultsA total of 248 patients were included (130 in the control group and 118 in the experimental group). The diagnostic accuracy of intraoperative frozen section pathology was significantly greater in the experimental group than in the control group (91.53 vs 77.69%, P < 0.05).
conclusionIntraoperative high-frequency ultrasonography can effectively identify abnormalities in tumor capsular continuity, guide optimized sampling for intraoperative frozen section analysis, significantly improve the intraoperative detection of malignant tumors, and provide reliable intraoperative guidance.
