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

backgroundThyroid papillary carcinoma (TPC) is the most common type of thyroid cancer (TC). The prognosis of TPC patients with tumor-cell metastasis is poor. Therefore, this study aims to develop a model for predicting TPC patients' recurrence-free survival (RFS).

methodsWe included 546 TPC patients who were clinically and pathologically diagnosed with TPC. The methylation biomarkers that associate with RFS were explored. These 546 samples were divided into training dataset (first 70%) and validation dataset (remaining 30%) randomly. The training dataset was used to identify prognostic biomarkers and construct risk prediction model, in addition, the validation dataset was used to verify the predictive performance of the model. We used Cox proportional hazard analysis and the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) Cox regression analysis to identify the significant predictive biomarkers, and establish the relapse risk prediction model from the identified biomarkers.

resultsA 6-DNA methylation signature yielded a high evaluative performance for RFS. The Kaplan-Meier analysis indicated that the 6-DNA methylation signature could significantly distinguish the high- and low-risk patients in training, validation and entire sets. In addition, a nomogram was constructed based on risk score, metastasis status and residual tumor status, and C-index, receiver operating characteristic (ROC) and the calibration plots analysis which demonstrated the good performance and clinical utility of the nomogram.

conclusionsThe results suggested that the 6-DNA methylation signature is the independent prognostic marker for RFS and functioned as a significant tool for guiding the clinical treatment of TPC patients.
