Clinicopathological Risk Factors for Distant Metastasis in Differentiated Thyroid Carcinoma: A Meta-analysis.
Synthesis in World journal of surgery, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 42 papers, 2 of them syntheses that pooled 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.
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
introductionDistant metastasis (DM) is not a frequent event in differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC) but has an adverse impact on mortality of patients with DTC. In the current study, we aimed to conduct a comprehensive systematic review and meta-analysis to investigate the risk factors for DM in DTCs and for each histological subtype.
methodsFive electronic databases were searched from inception to December 2016 for relevant articles. Pooled odd ratios and 95% confidence interval were calculated using random-effect model.
resultsThirty-four articles with 73,219 patients were included for meta-analyses. In DTCs, male gender, age ≥45 years, tumor size ≥4 cm, multifocality, vascular invasion (VI), extrathyroidal extension (ETE), lymph node metastasis (LNM), and lateral LNM were demonstrated to be associated with significant risks for DM. In addition, several clinicopathological factors such as age ≥45 years, VI, ETE, and LNM were shown to be significant risk factors for DM in both PTC and FTC subgroups.
conclusionOur study demonstrated the promising value of several clinicopathological factors such as male gender, older age, VI, ETE, and LNM in predicting DM in PTCs and FTCs. Our study affirms the value of the selected clinicopathological factors for tumor risk stratification and assessment of patients' prognosis.
