Outcomes of Early Transition of Low-Risk Thyroid Cancer Patients from Specialist to Primary Care.
Article in Current oncology (Toronto, Ont.), 2022. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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
backgroundRecently published clinical pathways for management of thyroid cancer outlined the criteria for transitioning low-risk patients to primary care within one to five years from diagnosis. However, discharge patterns among endocrinologists remain heterogeneous as there lacks a consensus regarding post-treatment care for thyroid cancer patients.
objectiveThis study described general characteristics and outcomes of thyroid cancer patients who were discharged from specialist care and transitioned to a primary care-based follow-up clinic.
methodsThyroid cancer patients seen in the After Cancer Treatment Transition (ACTT) clinic at Women's College Hospital (Toronto, Canada) were included in the study. Electronic medical records were reviewed between May and October 2021 to collect patient characteristics and outcomes. Descriptive statistics were calculated.
resultsThe study cohort included 148 thyroid cancer patients and 76% were female. All cases were papillary thyroid cancer and most diagnoses were classified as T
conclusionsThese findings may reassure specialists that low-risk, stable thyroid cancer patients can be safely transitioned to primary care for post-treatment follow-up.
