Trends in Prevalence of Thyroid Cancer Over Three Decades: A Retrospective Cohort Study of 17,526 Surgical Patients.

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
introductionThyroid cancer (TC) incidence has been increasing in recent years. The aim of this study was to investigate our institution-based estimates of operative volumes for TC over the last three decades. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis was a retrospective cohort study of patients undergoing thyroid surgery at our institution. Patient characteristics were reviewed in three subgroups: Group I (treated in 1981-1986), Group II (treated in 1987-2002), and Group III (treated in 2003-2012).
resultsTC was diagnosed in 1578/17,526 (9.0%) thyroid operations. Incidence of TC increased from 3.7% in Group I to 10.4% in Group III (p < 0.001). Incidence of papillary TC increased form 40.6% in Group I to 81.3% in Group III (p < 0.001). In the latter group, 23.5% of all papillary TCs were diagnosed in patients with Hashimoto's disease. Meanwhile, incidence of anaplastic TC decreased from 16.2% in Group I to 2.1% in Group III patients (p < 0.001). pT1 tumors were diagnosed in 8.1% Group I and 54.8% Group III (p < 0.001), whereas pT4 tumors were identified in 40.5% Group I, 2.4% Group II, and 0.84% Group III subjects (p < 0.001). pT3 tumors were found in 51.6% Group I, whereas multifocal papillary TCs were found in 15.7% Group III patients, the latter with a higher prevalence of pN1 stage (p < 0.001).
conclusionsThe following trends in surgical volume for TC were identified throughout the study period: a fivefold increase of thyroid operations for TC, a threefold increase in incidence of papillary TC, and an eightfold decrease in incidence of anaplastic TC. It is of interest that a significant increase in incidence of multifocal papillary TC in young female patients with Hashimoto's disease was found over time.
