Prevalence of papillary microcarcinoma of the thyroid in Brazilian autopsy and surgical series.
Article in Endocrine pathology, 2006. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 27 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
In order to search for parameters to differentiate patients at low and high risk for development of thyroid cancer, we studied thyroids from 166 consecutive autopsies and 261 thyroids that were surgically resected for thyroid diseases in general. We found 32 papillary microcarcinomas, corresponding to 7.8% of autopsies and 7.2% of surgical material, with a higher incidence between 30 and 49 yr of age. Both genders were similarly affected: 9.3% of the men and 8.8% of the women in autopsy series, and 6.2% of the men and 7.3% of the women in surgical series, suggesting that hormonal factors may favor the subsequent development of clinical lesions in women. Although associated nodular goiter has been observed in 54% of autopsies and 26% of surgical specimens, while Hashimoto's thyroiditis only in surgical material (15% of the cases), we were not able to correlate risk of malignancy with any concomitant lesion. The smallest papillary microcarcinomas presented most frequently as nonencapsulated nonsclerosing tumors without inflammatory infiltrate or fibrosis, suggesting that they may represent the early stages of development. Our data show a relatively high and similar frequency of papillary microcarcinomas in surgical and autopsy series, but do not demonstrate risk factors for clinical evolution.
