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

backgroundPapillary thyroid cancer (PTC) is the most common malignant tumor of the thyroid. However, the coexistence of PTC and sarcoma in one patient is rare. In this article, we report the case of a patient who presented with both PTC and undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma (UPS), which has not been previously reported in the online Medline database (PubMed). CASE SUMMARY: A 71-year-old man was admitted to our hospital for a mass on the right side of his neck for one month, which rapidly enlarged within 2 wk with distending pain. The patient was diagnosed with a thyroid malignancy by fine-needle aspiration and underwent total thyroidectomy and bilateral central lymph node dissection. Histology and immunohistochemistry revealed features of both PTC and UPS. The thyroid cancer 8 gene detection kit results showed BRAF and telomerase reverse transcriptase mutations. The disease progressed rapidly, and the patient died four months after surgery from extensive lung metastasis.

conclusionOur report highlights the patient's pathological characteristics and related genetic mutations. Due to the rapid development and poor prognosis of cooccurring PTC and sarcoma, it is important for clinical physicians and pathologists to raise awareness of this type of tumor.
