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

introductionDICER1 is a member of RNase III family that has a pivotal role in the biogenesis of microRNAs, being important for normal development. Dysregulation of DICER1 has been described in different human tumours; however, there is insufficient data on the risk of thyroid cancer in the presence of germline DICER1 variants, particularly when focusing on the background of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). For this purpose, we ascertained the presence of DICER1 variants in 502 (PTC) cases available from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) research network in a well-characterized pathological context. MATERIAL AND

methodsin this study we analyzed 502 samples from 502 patients, described as PTC in the TCGA database. Tumour diagnoses were re-evaluated by 2 pathologists (S.C. and M.S.-S.) on slides available from the database, and clinicopathological and demographic data was examined. Data concerning germline and sporadic DICER1 gene variants as well as frequent mutations in the genes involved in thyroid carcinogenesis (e.g., RESULTS AND DISCUSSION: We report 1 new germline possibly pathogenic variant, besides 15 others already been identified in ClinVar. We found that the DICER1-positive PTC group more frequently includes PTC variants, namely the oncocytic, follicular, and aggressive (hobnail variant of PTC) variants. A previous association of DICER1 had been demonstrated, mainly with the follicular variant of PTC and follicular thyroid carcinomas. Tumours harbouring germline DICER1 mutations were more frequently "bilateral" and "encapsulated." The frequent association of DICER1 germline variants with other mutations associated with thyroid cancer can reflect an haploinsufficiency tumour suppressor gene function of DICER1, as suggested from the study of animal models.
