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

The existence of well-differentiated thyroid tumors sharing the clinicopathologic features of follicular and papillary carcinoma is discussed using the so-called diffuse (multinodular) form of the follicular variant of papillary carcinoma as a paradigm. Although the concept of a hybrid carcinoma of the thyroid is intellectually very appealing, we conclude that there is not (yet) enough reliable genotypic or phenotypic evidence to support utilization of such a term.
