The Relationship Between Body Mass Index and Different Regional Patterns of Lymph Node Involvement in Papillary Thyroid Cancers.
Article in Frontiers in oncology, 2021. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 papers.
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
introductionLymph node (LN) metastasis is the first site of metastasis of papillary thyroid cancer (PTC). LN status influences clinical management and the prognosis of patients. We explored the relationship between patient obesity and regional patterns of LN involvement in PTC. MATERIALS AND
methodsThis study retrospectively analyzed the data from 12,772 PTC patients. The rate of LN metastasis, number of LN metastasis, maximum diameter of positive LN, number of
resultsOverweight and obesity were independent risk factor for metastatic LNs (OR
conclusionsObesity was associated with poor prognoses with PTC respecting LNs. Surgeons should be extreme caution when performing central neck dissection in obese patients.
