Parathyroid invasion, nodal recurrence, and lung metastasis by papillary carcinoma of the thyroid.
Article in Journal of clinical pathology, 2004. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
aimsParathyroid invasion by papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is found in a small proportion of surgical specimens, but the clinicopathological relevance of this phenomenon is not well understood. This study investigated the possible prognostic relevance of parathyroid invasion in PTC.
methodParathyroid involvement was seen in 14 patients with PTC, and the clinicopathological characteristics and follow up data of these patients were analysed and compared with 164 patients without parathyroid involvement, in whom histological parathyroid examination had been undertaken, and 177 other patients without parathyroid examination (341 patients without parathyroid involvement in total).
resultsParathyroid invasion was found in older patients and there were more male patients in this group than in those without parathyroid invasion. These patients had more extrathyroid extension and were frequently in an advanced stage of disease. Lung metastasis was seen in two of the 14 patients, which was significantly more than that seen in control cases. Moreover, male patients with parathyroid invasion and those who were older than 55 years had reduced disease free survival compared with those without parathyroid invasion.
conclusionParathyroid invasion seen in thyroid carcinoma may be an important histological feature indicating a greater chance of nodal recurrence and lung metastasis.
