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

Prognosis in Differentiated Thyroid Cancer (DTC) patients is excellent, but a significant degree of overtreatment still exists because of the inability to accurately identify small patient cohorts who experience a more aggressive form of the disease, often associated with certain poor prognostic factors. Identifying these cohorts at an early stage would allow patients at high risk to receive more aggressive treatment while avoiding unnecessary and invasive treatments in those at low risk. Most risk stratification systems include age, tumor size, grade, presence of local invasion, and regional or distant metastases. Here we discuss these common factors as well as their association with treatment response, but also other upcoming markers including histology and multifocality of primary tumor, dose administered and preparation method for Radioiodine Therapy (RAI), Thyroglobulin (Tg), Anti-thyroglobulin Antibodies (Tg-Ab) levels both at initial management and during follow-up, and the presence of previously existing benign thyroid disease. In addition, we examine the role of remnant size and avidity as well as surgeons' experience in performing thyroidectomies with recurrence rate, discussing its impact on disease prognosis. Our results reveal that treatment response has a statistically significant association with histology, T and M stages, surgeons' experience, Tg levels and remnant score both during RAI and follow up and Tg-Ab levels during follow-up whole body scan (WBS).
