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

Primary squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the thyroid gland is a very rare entity representing <1% of all primary carcinomas of the thyroid gland with a very poor prognosis. We report a rare case of a 65-year-old woman with SCC of the thyroid gland, emphasizing the postoperative complications and poor prognosis of these patients. Surgical excision of primary SCC of the thyroid gland when possible is the optimal therapy. Chemo- and radiotherapy rarely have place in its treatment as this malignancy has a poor response to chemotherapy and in many cases is radio-resistant. Median survival of these patients is around 6 months.
