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

Papillary carcinomas are the most common thyroid malignancy accounting for approximately 80 % of thyroid cancers (Rosenbaum and McHenry Expert Rev Anticancer Ther 9:317-329, 2009). They generally manifest as solitary nodules in the thyroid with or without cervical lymphadenopathy. Distant metastases though rare, are commonly seen in lungs and bones, other rare sites are parotid, skin, brain, ovary, adrenal, kidney, Pancreas and breast. We herein present an unusual case of breast lump as an initial presentation of a well differentiated thyroid cancer in a male patient. Our case is unique since it presented with isolated breast metastasis in a male patient in the absence of primary diagnosis. This prompted us to report the case with review of literature. A brief review of literature follows.
