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

Background: A limited number of targeted therapy options exist for papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) to date. Based on genetic alterations reported by the "The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA)", we explored whether PTC shows alterations that may be targetable by drugs approved by the FDA for other solid cancers. Methods: Databases of the National Cancer Institute and MyCancerGenome were screened to identify FDA-approved drugs for targeted therapy. Target genes were identified using Drugbank. Genetic alterations were classified into conferring drug sensitivity or resistance using MyCancerGenome, CiViC, TARGET, and OncoKB. Genomic data for PTC were extracted from TCGA and mined for alterations predicting drug response. Results: A total of 129 FDA-approved drugs with 128 targetable genes were identified. One hundred ninety-six (70%) of 282 classic, 21 (25%) of 84 follicular, and all 30 tall-cell variant PTCs harbored druggable alterations: 259 occurred in 29, 39 in 19, and 31 in 2 targetable genes, respectively. The Conclusion: Treatment strategies need to focus on resistance mechanisms to
