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

Medullary thyroid cancer (MTC) is a rare and only surgically treatable disease with early development of metastases and bad prognosis. Due to the lack of efficient systemic treatment, new strategies and approaches are needed to better the patients' outcome. One of the most promising treatment options is the use of tyrosine multikinase inhibitors, which appear to have some effect on the disease progression with tolerable toxicity. Most of them affect many key pathways in the cancer genesis and have proven their effect in different malignancies. We report a case of a young patient with metastatic MTC treated successfully for two months with sorafenib.
