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

Background: The optimal treatment of papillary thyroid microcarcinomas (PTMCs) located in the isthmus (iPTMCs) is still controversial. The purpose of this study was to compare the clinicopathologic features of patients with iPTMCs ≤5 mm and >5 mm in diameter after total thyroidectomy, and to identify the risk factors for recurrence in patients with iPTMCs. Methods: A total of 102 iPTMC patients who underwent total thyroidectomy were reviewed retrospectively. The clinicopathologic characteristics of iPTMCs ≤5 mm group ( Results: Gender ( Conclusion: We have found that the recurrence rates are similar in patients with iPTMCs ≤5 mm and >5 mm. The iPTMCs >5 mm were more likely to be associated with pathological features such as multifocality and CLNM. The male gender, extrathyroidal extension, and CLNM were associated with recurrence of iPTMCs except for tumor size and multifocality. Higher risk of CLNM should be considered in iPTMC >5 mm when it reaches some risk factors. The numbers of MNCND ≥3 may be an independent predictor for recurrence, which could help clinicians for the decision of radioiodine administration and the modulation of follow-up modalities.
