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

purposeDynamin-related protein 1 (DRP1), a mitochondrial fission protein, and its active form phosphorylated at Serine 616 (S616-p-DRP1) have been increasingly associated with tumorigenesis and invasion in various tumor models, including oncocytic thyroid cancer (TC). In this study, the expression of DRP1 and S616-p-DRP1 and its relationship with patients' clinicopathological characteristics, tumor genetic profiles, and clinical outcomes were assessed in a large series of follicular cell-derived TC (FCDTC).

methodsRetrospective biomarker study characterizing the clinicopathological and immunochemistry DRP1 and S616-p-DRP1 expression of a series of 259 patients with FCDTC followed in two University Hospitals.

resultsDRP1 expression was positive in 65.3% (169/259) of the cases, while the expression of the S616-p-DRP1 was positive in only 17.3% (17/98). DRP1-positive expression was significantly associated with differentiated tumors (67.7 vs. 48.0%; P = 0.049), non-encapsulated tumors (73.8 vs. 57.4%; P = 0.011) and thyroid capsule invasion (73.4 vs. 57.5%; P = 0.013). S616-p-DRP1-positive expression was significantly associated with tumor infiltrative margins (88.9 vs. 11.1%; P = 0.033), thyroid capsule invasion (29.8 vs. 3.1%; P = 0.043), lymph node metastases (23.3 vs. 8.1%; P = 0.012), and higher mean cumulative radioiodine dosage (317.4 ± 265.0 mCi vs. 202.5 ± 217.7 mCi; P = 0.038). S616-p-DRP1 expression was negatively associated with oncocytic phenotype (0.0 vs. 26.2%; P = 0.028).

conclusionsS616-p-DRP1 is a better candidate than DRP1 to identify tumors with locally invasive behavior. Prospective studies should be pursued to assess S616-p-DRP1 role as a molecular marker of malignancy in TC and in patients' risk assessment.
