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
objectiveThe aim of the study was to study the clinical profile in patients of differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) with Iodine-131 avid distant metastasis at presentation. The study also attempted to evaluate factors influencing survival among these patients. MATERIAL AND
methodsThe cohort includes 35 patients (26 Female, 9 Male) studied retrospectively and prospectively over a period of 5 years at the Sher-I-Kashmir Institute of Medical Sciences, Srinagar, India.
resultsThe five years cause specific survival among patients of DTC with distant metastasis in the study group was 74.3%. The mean age at presentation was 41.4 years with female patients outnumbering the male patients in a ratio of 5:1. Papillary histopathology was the commonest in 65.7% followed by Follicular in 31.4% and poorly differentiated cancer in 2.9% of patients.31.4% 0f patients presented with relatively advanced AJC/UICC tumor stage of T3-T4. Bone was the commonest site of metastasis in 42.85% of patients followed by lung in 40% 0f patients. 82.9% of patients had only single organ metastasis. Therapeutic Radioiodine was administered in 31 (88.6%) patients. On univariate analysis of various factors that may be influencing the cause specific survival at 5 years, age ≥ 45 years, T3-T4 tumor stage, regional lymph node metastasis, follicular histopathology and non administration of radioiodine revealed significant (P<0.05) association with a poor 5 year survival. However multivariate analysis identified advanced tumor stage (T3-T4) and non administration of radioiodine to be the only independent factors associated with poor survival.
conclusionPatients of differentiated thyroid cancer with distant metastasis having advanced tumor stage (T3-T4) and those in whom therapeutic radioiodine (I-131) is not administered seem to have an unfavorable prognosis in terms of a 5 years cause specific survival.
