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

Completion thyroidectomy, being a surgically challenging procedure, choice of doing such procedure in differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC), remains unclear due to the complications involved following the procedure. So this study is intended to look into risk factors that will prompt completion thyroidectomy and surgery-related complications. A prospective analysis was done in 48 patients diagnosed with DTC during the year 2017. Completion thyroidectomy with or without neck dissection was performed as per institutional protocol. Clinico-radiological features were compared with histopathology in completion thyroidectomy specimen. The incidence of malignancy in completion thyroidectomy specimen and complications during the procedure were noted. Risk factors associated with malignancy were statistically analyzed. The incidence of malignancy in completion thyroidectomy specimen was 56.25%. Papillary carcinoma thyroid (PCT) had a statistically significant risk compared to follicular carcinoma thyroid (
