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

This study aimed to review the clinical significance of BRAFV600E mutations in pediatric papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). From 2018 to 2021, 392 pediatric thyroid operations were performed in the first affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University. Of these, 169 patients underwent their first operation in our hospital and were histopathologically diagnosed as papillary thyroid carcinoma. BRAFV600E gene mutation detection was performed in these 169 pediatric patients to investigate the correlation between BRAF gene mutations and clinicopathological features. Ninety-seven of our 169 patients had a BRAFV600E mutation, with a mutation rate of 57.4%. The incidence of BRAFV600E was higher in boys than in girls, and in the 13-18-year age group as compared with the 6-12-year age group (P < 0.05). The positivity rate of BRAFV600E in unilateral PTC (67.7%) was significantly higher than the ones in bilateral PTC (28.9%). The occurrence of diffuse microcalcification of the thyroid negatively correlated with the presence of BRAFV600E mutations. BRAFV600E mutations were found more frequently in patients with smaller tumor size, a lack of multifocality, lower TSH levels and central lymph node metastasis. During the follow-up time, 70 patients were treated with iodine-131. Eight patients required a second surgery (All had cervical lymph node recurrence). BRAFV600E mutations do not suggest a more aggressive course in papillary thyroid carcinoma in pediatric patients in the short term.
