High RPMB predicts poor disease-free survival of male N1 papillary thyroid cancer after adjuvant radioiodine therapy.

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
The current recommendation for the use of adjuvant radioactive iodine (RAI) therapy in papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) after radical surgery is based on clinicopathological factors; however, this recommendation remains controversial. Our present study established a new biomarker, RPMB (promotor methylation burden of DNA repair genes (DRGs)), to identify a patient subgroup suitable for adjuvant RAI therapy. We defined RPMB as the ratio of methylated DRGs to the total number of DRGs. Methylation profiles of 498 PTC tumors and their clinical data were retrieved from the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database. DRGs of PTC subjects were found to be much more hypomethylated than controls across the whole profile (all
