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 patients with mixed subtype thyroid cancer (MSTC) is unclear. The present study compared the prognoses of MSTC, papillary thyroid cancer (PTC), and follicular thyroid cancer (FTC) to provide a new perspective regarding the treatment guidelines for these diseases. We evaluated data from patients with thyroid cancer who were included in the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database between 2004 and 2013. Patient mortality was evaluated using Cox proportional hazards regression analyses and Kaplan-Meier analyses with log-rank tests. The univariate Cox regression analysis showed that the cancer-specific survival rate for MSTC was lower than that for PTC and FTC. However, in the multivariate Cox regression analysis, the cancer-specific survival rate for MSTC was similar to that for PTC and FTC. Before matching influence factors, the cancer-specific survival rate for MSTC was lower than that for PTC and FTC. However, after propensity score matching for relevant factors, the cancer-specific survival rate for MSTC was also similar to that for PTC and FTC. Our result would be beneficial and provide a guideline for the understanding of MSTC.
