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

While increased glycolysis has been identified as a cancer marker and attracted much attention in thyroid cancer (THCA), the prognostic role of it remains to be further elucidated. Here we aimed to determine a specific glycolysis-associated risk model to predict THCA patients' survival. We also explored the interaction between this signature and tumor immune microenvironment and performed drug screening to identify specific drugs targeting the glycolysis-associated signature. Six genes (CHST6, POM121C, PPFIA4, STC1, TGFBI, and FBP2) comprised the specific model, which was an independent prognostic indicator in THCA patients determined by univariate, LASSO and multivariate Cox regression analyses. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis confirmed the excellent clinical performance of the prognostic signature. According to the specific gene signature, patients were categorized into high- and low-risk subgroups. The high-risk group was characterized by decreased immune score and elevated tumor purity, as well as worser survival prognosis compared to the low-risk group. We also validated the expression of these genes in clinical samples and
