Risk Factors for Cervical Lymph Node Metastasis of Papillary Thyroid Microcarcinoma: A Single-Center Retrospective Study.
Article in International journal of endocrinology, 2019. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 17 papers.
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
objectiveTo identify the clinicopathological features correlated to lymph node metastasis (LNM) in patients with papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (PTMC).
methodsClinical data of 785 PTMC patients who underwent surgical treatment at the Lishui Municipal Central Hospital from September 2008 to December 2017 were retrospectively analyzed. Clinical and pathological risk factors for lymph node metastasis (LNM), central lymph node metastasis (CLNM), and lateral lymph node metastasis (LLNM) were analyzed.
resultsLNM was found in 236 (30.2%) patients. Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that in PTMC, male gender, age < 55 years, tumor size > 5 mm, bilateral lesions, and extrathyroidal extension were independent risk factors for LNM in general and for CLNM. For LLNM, tumor size > 5 mm, multifocal lesions, and extrathyroidal extension were independent risk factors.
conclusionsIdentification of risk factors for cervical LNM could assist individualization of clinical management for PTMC.
