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

backgroundWhether Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT) affects the lymph node metastasis of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) remains uncertain. The diagnostic criteria for HT differed in previous studies. Our study focused on analysing the influence of HT on PTC lymph node metastasis (LNM) with stringent diagnostic criteria for HT.

methodsA total of 444 patients diagnosed with PTC from 2019 to 2020 were enrolled and divided into two groups: HT group and non-HT group. Diagnostic criteria of HT were as follows: thyroid peroxidase antibody (+) and postoperative histopathology of Hashimoto's disease.

resultsThere was no significant difference in the LNM rate between HT group and non-HT group. Patients in the HT group had fewer numbers of metastatic LNs and lower metastatic LNs ratio in central region. In the HT group, age < 55 and tumor size ≥10 mm were independent risk factors for central LNM.

conclusionThe autoimmune response of HT seems to reduce the central lymph node metastasis of HT PTCs. Age < 55 and tumor size ≥10 mm were independent risk factors of central lymph node metastasis in HT PTCs.
