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

We aimed to evaluate changes in thyroid gland size during the treatment of malignancies outside the head and neck with chemotherapy and/or external beam radiation. We performed a retrospective review of records of adult patients treated at our institution with external beam radiation to the chest and/or chemotherapy with taxanes, alkylating agents, and/or a topoisomerase II inhibitor. Neck and chest computed tomography (CT) images were used to calculate thyroid gland volume before and after therapy, using Vitrea
