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

The incidence of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is increasing. Lymph node metastatic status of PTC is a major factor for decision marking of surgery and surgical extend, however, no reliable tool exists for prediction of PTC nodal metastasis, for example, ultrasound cannot qualitatively diagnose and effectively detect central lymph node metastasis (CLNM). Therefore, the development of a new diagnostic biomarker is crucial for CLNM. Metabolic dysregulation is an important factor associated with malignancy and metastasis of tumors. Pyruvate carboxylase (PC) is a major anaplerotic enzyme that catalyzes the carboxylation of pyruvate to form oxaloacetate, which has been suggested to be involved in the tumorigenesis of several cancers, including PTC. This study aimed to explore the role of
