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 prognosis of oxyphilic cell papillary thyroid carcinoma (OCPTC) remains unclear. The aim of this study was to investigate the prognosis of OCPTC and provide a new perspective on treatment guidelines for these patients. We investigated a large cohort of DTC patients from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) database between 2004 and 2013. Patient mortality was examined by Kaplan-Meier analyses with log-rank tests and Cox proportional hazards regression analyses. In the study cohort, the rate of cancer-specific mortality per 1000 person-years for OCPTC was lower than that for classic papillary thyroid cancer (CPTC) and follicular thyroid cancer (FTC). According to the multivariate Cox regression model, the cancer-specific and all-cause mortality rates of OCPTC were similar to that of CPTC and FTC. The cancer-specific survival rate in patients with OCPTC was higher than that in patients with FTC, but similar to patients with CPTC, after matching for influential factors using propensity score matching analysis. The unanticipated prognosis provided new implications for the treatment of patients with OCPTC.
