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

backgroundThe advent of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) has changed the treatment of RAI refractory, unresectable recurrent differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC), which was formerly treated with multidisciplinary remedies. CASE PRESENTATION: Here we describe the case of a 64-year-old woman who underwent total thyroidectomy with tracheal resection and suffered from a recurrent tumor in the neck and multiple lung and bone metastases 3 and 11 months, respectively, after the operation. Multimodal therapies, RI (I-131), EBRT, and taxane-based chemotherapy were ineffective, and sorafenib was started as a TKI. However, because of disease progression, sorafenib was replaced by lenvatinib after 9 months. The effect of lenvatinib has continued for more than 1 year and 9 months, and the patient has well survived. During the treatment period, a tracheal pin-hole fistula suddenly emerged, which was naturally cured by the temporary cessation of lenvatinib. Adverse events such as hypertension, proteinuria, and diabetes as innate complications have been successfully managed until the present according to our institute regulations.

conclusionsEven where multimodal treatment was ineffective, lenvatinib was suggested to be an alternative treatment option for RAI refractory recurrent DTC and patient could have a chance to be controlled successfully.
