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

Thyroid malignancies are one of the fastest growing cancers in the world, with the majority being papillary thyroid cancer. Follicular variant of papillary thyroid cancer accounts for about 10%-20% of papillary thyroid carcinomas. The usual sites for metastases of these tumours are lungs and bones with renal metastases being extremely rare. We describe a case of a 64-year-old woman who presented with abdominal pain. On subsequent imaging, she was found to have a colonic mass with metastatic lesions in the lungs and tumour involving left kidney. On biopsy and immunohistochemical staining, the renal mass showed positivity for thyroid cancer markers. Thyroid scan was noted to be negative and the patient was placed on active surveillance after undergoing chemotherapy for colonic adenocarcinoma.
