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

backgroundDistant metastases from follicular thyroid carcinoma are mainly hematogenous and are commonly observed in the lungs and bones. Other rare sites are the parotid gland, skin, brain, ovary, adrenal gland, kidney, pancreas and breast, with chest wall lymph node metastasis being even more rare. CASE PRESENTATION: Over the past 10 years, three surgeries were performed on a 69-year-old women with a history of follicular thyroid cancer and its metastatic lesions. The patient presented with a 3-month history of masses in the left chest. She underwent detailed examination of the chest wall tumors, and surgery was then performed to resect all of the tumors. Based on the histopathology, these lymph nodes were confirmed to harbor metastatic follicular thyroid carcinoma.

conclusionThis study reports the first case of follicular thyroid carcinoma metastasis to the chest wall lymph node.
