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

Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is the most common endocrine malignancy, arising from follicular cells, and accounts for more than 80% of all thyroid malignant tumors. Although age is the strongest prognostic factor of PTC, and various cut-off ages (40-55 years) were suggested in previous studies, the molecular mechanisms causing age-related changes of PTC cell proliferation remain unclear. CD44 is a major cell surface receptor for hyaluronate and is known as a cancer stem cell marker. However, the association between CD44 and PTC is still unknown. Therefore, we determined the proliferation of primary cultured cells obtained from patients with PTC, and the CD44 mRNA expression profile to elucidate age-related association of CD44 with PTC. The results showed that cell proliferation was significantly decreased according to age. We also found that CD44v8-10 and CD44 splice variants were expressed dominantly in patients with PTC. Moreover, the CD44v8-10/CD44s mRNA expression ratio was significantly increased according to age, and there was a significant negative correlation between this expression ratio and cell proliferation. Our findings suggest that the CD44v8-10/CD44s expression ratio in PTC cells is useful for screening for aggressive PTC and may provide clinically valuable information.
