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

Objective: Antithyroglobulin antibodies (TgAbs) could be used as a surrogate tumor marker of TgAb-positive-differentiated thyroid carcinoma. This study aims to determine whether the change in TgAb levels over time could be used as a predictor of responses to therapy in pediatric papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) patients. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the records of 48 pediatric PTC patients with TgAb levels ≥50 IU/ml 6 months after initial Results: Of 48 enrolled patients with 58 months (range, 24-143 months) of follow-up, 28 patients had NAR and 20 patients had AR. TgAb levels were decreasing ≥50% in 28 patients, decreasing <50% in 8 patients, and increasing in 12 patients. Multivariate analysis showed that high initial risk stratification and TgAb levels decreasing <50% or increasing were significantly associated with NAR ( Conclusion: Changes in TgAb levels over time could be used as a predictor of responses to therapy in TgAb-positive pediatric PTC patients. Changes in Tg levels over time are also associated with NAR to therapy in both TgAb-positive and Tg-positive pediatric PTC patients.
