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

Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is the most prevalent endocrine malignancy with a steadily increasing global incidence in recent decades. The pathogenesis of PTC is poorly understood, and the present diagnostic protocols are deficient. Thus, identifying novel prognostic biomarkers to improve our understanding of the mechanisms of pathogenesis, diagnosis, and designing therapeutic strategies for PTC is crucial. In this study, we integrated 27 PTC transcriptomic datasets and identified overlapping differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and differentially expressed microRNAs, collectively known as thyroid tumor-enriched proteins (TTEPs), and TTEmiRs, respectively. Our integrated bioinformatics analysis revealed that TTEPs were associated with tumor stages, poor surgical outcomes, distant metastasis, and worse prognoses in PTC cohorts. In addition, TTEPs were found to be associated with tumor immune infiltrating cells and immunosuppressive phenotypes of PTC. Enrichment analysis suggested the association of TTEPs with epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT), cell-matrix remodeling, and transcriptional dysregulation, while the TTEmiRs (miR-146b-5p and miR-21-5p) were associated with the modulation of the immune response, EMT, migration, cellular proliferation, and stemness. Molecular docking simulations were performed to evaluate binding affinities between TTEPs and antrocinnamomin, antcin, and antrocin, the bioactive compounds from one of the most reputable Taiwan indigenous medicinal plants (
