Serum TSH levels are associated with postoperative recurrence and lymph node metastasis of papillary thyroid carcinoma.
Article in American journal of translational research, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 15 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
objectiveTo explore the relationship between thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) levels in the serum and postoperative recurrence and lymph node metastasis (LNM) in papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) patients after surgery.
methodsWe selected 272 patients diagnosed with PTC from June 2011 to July 2014. The clinical and pathological data of 272 PTC patients were collected at the First Affiliated Hospital of Wenzhou Medical University and analysed retrospectively. All PTC patients were tested for the BRAF
resultsOf 272 patients, only 182 (73 BRAF
conclusionPTC patients with high TSH levels (> 2.615 mlU/L) have worse disease-free survival, which is more obvious in the BRAF
