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: Accurate imaging evaluation of remnant thyroid tissue (RTT) is particularly important for precise radioiodine remnant ablation (RRA). However, the optimal imaging method to guide its management remains a subject of debate. This study compared the diagnostic value of Methods: A total of 505 patients undergoing radioactive iodine (RAI) therapy were enrolled and had no cervical lymph node metastases or distant metastasis in postablation Results: Per-patient analysis showed that Dx scan had significantly higher sensitivity (95.3%) and NPV (34.3%) than Tc-99m scan (66.1% and 6.7%, respectively). Both modalities achieved 100% specificity and PPV. Rx SPECT/CT detected 1,057 radioiodine-uptake foci in 493 patients, with the majority of RTT situated in the superior anterior region (SAR) and posterolateral regions. In the per-site analysis, the overall sensitivity, specificity, PPV, and NPV of Tc-99m scan for detecting RTT were 47.3%, 100%, 100%, and 84.3%, respectively, compared with 86.7%, 100%, 100%, and 95.5% for Dx scan. sTg levels were significantly higher in both Tc-99m scan-positive and Dx scan-positive patients than those in negative patients (2.12 Conclusions: The Dx scan is superior to the Tc-99m scan for RTT assessment. To optimize RAI management, a Dx scan using 74 MBq
