Prognosis of FTC compared to PTC and FVPTC: findings based on SEER database using propensity score matching analysis.

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.
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 significance of prognosis of follicular thyroid cancer (FTC) compared to other subtypes of thyroid cancer, based on large cohort data has only been addressed in a few studies, and the results remain controversial. In this study, we investigated the prognosis of FTC compared to papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) and follicular variant PTC (FVPTC) based on Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database (SEER) Program data using propensity score matching. We evaluated data from 128,703 patients with thyroid cancer who were included in the SEER database between 2004 and 2013. Patient mortality was evaluated using Cox proportional hazards regression analyses and Kaplan-Meier analyses with log-rank tests. The average prognosis of FTC was poorer than both PTC and FVPTC. The multivariate Cox regression analysis revealed that the cancer-specific survival rate for FTC was lower than that for PTC and FVPTC without adjusting for risk factors. Furthermore, after propensity score matching analysis for relevant factors, the cancer-specific mortality rate for FTC was higher than that for PTC and FVPTC. These results based on a large population cohort database provide a benefit reference for individual and precise treatment and management of patients with FTC.
