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

The prevalence of thyroid cancer (TC) is high in the elderly. The present study was based on the hypothesis that genes, which have increased activity with aging, may play a role in the development of TC. A large-scale literature-based data analysis was conducted to explore the genes that are implicated in both TC and aging. Subsequently, a mega-analysis of 16 RNA expression datasets (1,222 samples: 439 healthy controls, and 783 patients with TC) was conducted to test a set of genes associated with aging but not TC. To uncover a possible link between these genes and TC, a functional pathway analysis was conducted, and the results were validated by analysis of gene co-expression. A multiple linear regression (MLR) model was employed to study the possible influence of sample size, population region and study age on the gene expression levels in TC. A total of 262 and 816 genes were identified to have increased activity with aging and TC, respectively; with a significant overlap of 63 genes (P<3.82×10
