1 · What the graph read from it

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.

2 · The registry

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

A case of renal cell carcinoma metastatic to the thyroid gland is presented. The thyroid tumor showed typical features: clear cells arranged in nests with a prominent sinusoidal vascular pattern. The histologic appearance was identical to the renal tumor removed 6 yr before. A comparative molecular study between the primary and the metastatic tumor showed a common profile with a loss of heterozygosity at identical loci on chromosome 3, which provided further support to the metastatic nature of the thyroid tumor. However, the frequent existence of allele losses on chromosome 3p in both renal cell carcinomas and primary thyroid follicular carcinomas rest some force from such a molecular approach to the differential diagnosis of thyroid tumors that contain a predominant population of clear cells.
