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

introductionCarcinomas of the thyroid gland represent 3% of all malignancies, with 1.3 to 9.8% corresponding to anaplastic thyroid carcinomas (ATC). Metastases are present in 50% of patients when ATC is diagnosed. Gastrointestinal metastases are a rare finding in patients with thyroid carcinoma. CASE REPORT: A 68-year old gentleman with a history of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) underwent surgery and radiopharmaceutical therapy. Restaging studies nine months later suggested wall thickening localizing to the distal stomach. Endoscopy results showed a large, infiltrative, subepithelial, and ulcerated gastric mass and biopsies revealed anaplastic thyroid carcinoma Conclusion. Incidental thickening or other findings in the stomach in a patient with ATC without gastrointestinal symptoms should be further investigated with endoscopy and biopsies to rule out gastric metastases from anaplastic thyroid carcinoma.
