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

There are many reported predisposing factors for thyroid papillary carcinoma, including genetic factors [1] previous irradiation [2,3], abnormal iodine intake [4-6], hyperthyroidism [7], pregnancy [8], and a dyshormonogenetic state [9]. However, whether there is a causative link between lymphocytic thyroiditis and thyroid papillary carcinoma remains controversial. Most reports indicating some association have suffered from methodologic problems. In particular, race, age, and sex differences in susceptibility to chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis and thyroid cancer have not been well-controlled in previous studies. We have therefore carefully evaluated previous studies and tried to determine if there is a definite relation between lymphocytic thyroiditis and thyroid papillary carcinoma histo-pathologically.
