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

Purpose: To study the influences of pre-ablation TSH stimulation level, sTg and sTg/TSH ratio on the therapeutic effect of the first Methods: According to the thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) levels (mU/l), all the 479 differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) patients were divided into two groups: TSH < 30 and TSH ≥ 30. The TSH ≥ 30 group was divided into three subgroups: 30 ≤ TSH < 60, 60 ≤ TSH < 90 and TSH ≥ 90. The clinical features and the therapeutic effects of the first Results: Among the three subgroups, the TSH ≥ 90 subgroup was younger and less likely to be associated with cervical lymph node metastasis (LNM). The postoperative levothyroxine (L-T Conclusions: There was no significant influence of TSH stimulation levels before the first
