[Familial thyroid carcinomas].
Article in Der Pathologe, 2010. 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
Approximately 5% of differentiated thyroid carcinomas with follicular cell differentiation, papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) and follicular thyroid carcinoma (FTC) and 25-30% of medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) are hereditary. They occur either as part of a defined syndrome or are confined to the thyroid gland. Compared to their sporadic non-hereditary counterparts hereditary thyroid carcinomas generally develop earlier and regularly show multifocal tumour growth. With the exception of familial MTC, which is preceded by neoplastic C cell hyperplasia, no precursor lesions of hereditary thyroid carcinoma are known. In strong correlation with the localisation of the germline mutation of the RET protooncogene, familial MTC shows a distinct clinical course which allows precise clinical decision-making for prophylactic thyroidectomy to prevent invasive MTC. According to current knowledge prophylactic thyroidectomy of all other types of hereditary thyroid carcinoma is not justified.
