A population-based study of the three major variants of papillary thyroid carcinoma.
Article in The Journal of international medical research, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
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.
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
objectiveTo explore the clinicopathological features and relative prognostic risks of the three major variants of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC).
methodsWe retrospectively analyzed the clinicopathological characteristics and prognoses of patients with the three major PTC variants, conventional papillary thyroid carcinoma (CPTC), follicular-variant papillary carcinoma (FVPTC), and tall-cell papillary thyroid carcinoma (TCPTC), based on data from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results database from 2005 to 2009.
resultsA total of 29,555 patients were enrolled. In terms of their demographic and clinicopathological characteristics, TCPTC had the highest prevalence of older patients, men, patients with locally advanced stage (T stage and N stage), and mortality, while FVPTC had the lowest prevalence in relation to these factors. The three variants differed significantly in terms of 5-year overall survival and 5-year disease-specific survival. Cox regression analysis identified male sex, age ≥45 years, and higher American Joint Committee on Cancer and TNM stage as independent factors predicting a poor prognosis in relation to both overall and disease-specific survival.
conclusionsCPTC, FVPTC, and TCPTC have different clinicopathological characteristics and prognoses, indicating the need for different treatment strategies for these three variants of PTC.
