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 heterogeneous and its molecular characteristics remain elusive. We integrated transcriptomic sequencing, genomic analysis and clinicopathologic information from 582 tissue samples of 216 PTC and 75 benign thyroid nodule (BTN) patients. We discovered four subtypes of PTC including Immune-enriched Subtype, BRAF-enriched Subtype, Stromal Subtype and CNV-enriched Subtype. Molecular subtypes were validated in an external cohort of 497 PTC cases from the TCGA. Tumors in the Immune-enriched Subtype showed higher immune infiltration and overexpression of immune checkpoints, whilst BRAF-enriched Subtype showed a higher tendency for extrathyroidal extension and more advanced TNM stage. Key oncogenes including LRRK2, SLC34A2, MUC1, FOXQ1 and KRT19 were overexpressed and enriched in oncogenic MAPK and PI3K/AKT signaling pathways in BRAF-enriched subtype. Further analysis of BRAF-enriched Subtype identified three subclasses with different degrees of malignancies. We also uncovered the molecular link of the initiation and progression from BTN to subtypes of PTC using trajectory analysis. Moreover, a 20-gene expression signature was generated for differential diagnosis of PTC from BTN patients. Together, our work identified previously unreported molecular subtypes of PTC, offering opportunities to stratify patients into optimal treatment plans based on molecular subtyping.
