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

As the high-pace development of sonography in recent years, the incidence of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) has increased sharply worldwide, especially papillary thyroid microcarcinoma (PTMC). As we all know, PTMC is an indolent tumor, and level I lymph nodes (LNs) at a higher region relatively, so the majority of PTMCs admitted to surgery before the level I LNs metastasis. It is rare to see PTMC with level I LNs metastasis. At best of our known, there is only one Chinese research mentioned it but without a description of it. In this case, we reported a 30-year-old female who developed a recurrent submental cystic mass after being received treatment to remove a certain volume of light-yellow fluid. Pathology verified that mass in the submental area involved by PTMC. We consider that it may relate to age, multifocality, the diameter of PTMC, numbers of central compartment LNs, and "re-metastasis".
