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

purposePapillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is among the most curable cancer types. Even though uncommon, some patients present distant metastatic disease at diagnosis or during the follow-up and most of them have long-term survival. However, there continues to be controversies regarding what clinicopathological features are associated with mortality in these patients. This paper evaluates the factors related to poor disease-specific survival (DSS) in patients with metastatic PTC.

methodsA retrospective cohort study included PTC patients with distant metastasis from a tertiary public oncological center. Clinicopathological features, treatment modalities, and outcome were reviewed.

resultsBetween 1986 and 2014, 108 patients were diagnosed with metastatic PTC. In the multivariate analysis male sex (HR = 2.65; 95%CI: 1.08-6.53; P = 0.033), radioiodine refractory disease (HR = 9.50; 95%CI: 1.23-73.38; P = 0.031) and metastasis at multiple sites (HR = 5.91; 95%CI: 1.80-19.32; P = 0.003) were independent risk factors for death in patients with metastatic PTC.

conclusionMale patients with metastatic PTC, with radioiodine refractory disease and metastasis at multiple sites have a high risk of death.
