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

This paper will review neuroendocrine lesions of the thyroid and the differential diagnosis with the most significant such tumor of the thyroid, that is, medullary thyroid carcinoma. A brief overview of the understanding of this tumor's identification as a lesion of C cells and its familial and syndromic associations will be presented. Then, a discussion of the various mimics of medullary carcinoma will be given with an approach to the types of tests that can be done to arrive at a correct diagnostic conclusion. This review will focus on practical "tips" for the practicing pathologist.
