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 increase in the incidence of thyroid cancer is accompanied by a mortality rate that is stable or perhaps even slightly decreasing. This phenomenon is due to the increased frequency of papillary microcarcinomas (thyroid tumors with a diameter of less than 1 cm), which is presumably attributable to the improved diagnosis enabled by high resolution ultrasound and fine needle aspiration cytology. The American and European Thyroid Associations have recently published new guidelines for the diagnosis and therapy of differentiated thyroid tumors. These guidelines are aimed at minimizing the diagnostic and therapeutic procedures without reducing their effectiveness. This goal is particularly important for papillary thyroid microcarcinoma patients, who have an excellent prognosis and almost normal life expectancy. This article summarizes the history of thyroid surgery and introduces papillary thyroid microcarcinoma--an important topic in modern thyroid oncology. Current methods for diagnosis, treatment and follow-up care of this disease are discussed.
