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

Primary thyroid squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is a rare and highly aggressive cancer. Diagnostic work-up encompasses cervical ultrasonography, tissue biopsy and CT scan. Surgery, radiotherapy and chemotherapy are the available treatment modalities. With a mean survival rate of 7 months reported in the literature, our patient is alive 2 years after successful treatment of her advanced primary thyroid SCC with surgery and radiotherapy.
