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 influence of chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis (CLT) on clinicopathological features and behavior of differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC) is still debated. In the present study, we aimed to evaluate the prognosis of DTC on the presence of CLT. A total of 649 total thyroidectomized patients (379 female, 270 male) with DTC, who had follow-up data for at least 36 months were included. Clinical, histopathological data, preoperative thyroid peroxidase antibody (TPO-ab), thyroglobulin antibody (Tg-ab), thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) levels, and presence of recurrent/persistent disease (R/PD) were evaluated retrospectively. Presence of CLT was defined by histopathology. Frequency of CLT was 32% (n = 208) among DTC patients. Mean tumor size (maximal diameter) was smaller in CLT group when compared to non-CLTs (p = 0.006). Capsular invasion, vascular invasion, tumor stage, risk groups, and R/PD were negatively associated with CLT (p < 0.01, p = 0.04, p = 0.03, p = 0.02, p < 0.01, respectively). Extrathyroidal extension was more frequent in non-CLT group when compared CLT (p = 0.052). Preoperative TSH level was positively associated with lymph node metastasis (LNM) and higher in patients with lateral LNM when compared to central LNM (p < 0.01). Central LNM, lateral LNM, stage 4 tumor, and intermediate- and high-risk tumor groups increased the risk of R/PH, 2.5-, 2.9-, 12.7-, 2.3-, and 4.2-fold, respectively. Presence of CLT was independently related with favorable outcomes, as the risk of R/PD was decreased by 0.49-fold. In conclusion, coexistence of CLT was negatively associated with tumor size, capsular invasion, vascular invasion, and tumor stage in DTC. Risk of R/PD was decreased by approximately half in patients with CLT.
