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

The rising incidence of papillary thyroid carcinoma is linked in part to inclusion of noninvasive follicular variant of papillary thyroid carcinoma. Despite its designation as carcinoma, noninvasive follicular variant of papillary thyroid carcinoma appears to be exceptionally indolent, often over treated by current treatment practices. Additionally, criteria for diagnosis have historically been subjective and challenging. Recently, an international multidisciplinary collaborative group performed a clinicopathologic survey of such cases with extended follow-up and concluded based on the outcome data that a revision in nomenclature was warranted, proposing 'Noninvasive Follicular Thyroid Neoplasm with Papillary-like Nuclear Features (NIFTP).' This monograph is a synopsis and guide for pathologists on NIFTP and focuses on histologic features, including inclusion and exclusion criteria used to define NIFTP, as well as grossing guidelines, reporting practices, and potential diagnostic limitations.
