Tumors of thyroid follicular epithelium: where have we been and where are we going?.
Review in Endocrine pathology, 2002. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
In a time that was much simpler but not so long ago, we believed there were two main types of differentiated thyroid cancer, papillary and follicular, and diagnostic criteria were relatively straightforward. Papillary carcinomas were characterized by papillary architecture, local invasiveness, and a relatively indolent course, while follicular carcinomas had a follicular architecture, were most often encapsulated, and were more prone to distant metastasis.
