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

Current treatment guidelines for follicular thyroid carcinoma (FTC) recommend total thyroidectomy, lymphadenectomy and radioiodine ablation. Considering the low malignant potential of minimally invasive follicular thyroid carcinoma (MIFTC), a limited radical therapeutic procedure may be adequate. MIFTC is an intensely discussed group of tumors and a review of the literature reveals disagreement among experts concerning the criteria for a distinct definition. Therefore, in 2005 Rosai proposed a clinically more significant classification of FTC based on the extent of capsular and vascular invasion: MIFTC with capsular invasion only, with limited (< or =3) vascular invasion, encapsulated FTC with extensive (>3) vascular invasion and broadly invasive FTC with extensive invasive growth.For the diagnosis of MIFTC a complete investigation of the encapsulated follicular lesion should be performed by the pathologist and examination of at least 10 tissue blocks is mandatory. Due to the excellent prognosis hemithyroidectomy constitutes an adequate therapeutic approach in MIFTC with capsular invasion only and may also be considered for MIFTC with limited vascular invasion. There are no indications for systematic lymphadenectomy.
