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

Oxidative stress (OS) can have an impact in the pathogenesis and in the progression of thyroid cancer. We investigated the levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in 50 malignant and benign thyroid lesions and 41 normal tissues, and correlated them with the thyroid differentiation score-TDS and the clinico-pathologic features. NOX4 expression, GPx activity and the genetic pattern of tumors were evaluated. In malignant and benign lesions, ROS generation and NOX4 protein expression were higher than in normal tissues. Follicular (FTCs) and anaplastic/poorly differentiated cancers had increased OS relative to papillary tumors (PTCs). Moreover, OS in FTCs was higher than in follicular adenomas. Mutated PTCs showed increased OS compared with non-mutated PTCs. In malignant tumors, OS was inversely correlated with TDS, and directly correlated with tumor stage and ATA risk. GPx activity was increased in tumors compared with normal tissues, and inversely correlated to OS. In conclusion, our data indicate that thyroid tumors are exposed to higher OS compared with normal tissues, while showing a compensative increased GPx activity. OS correlates with tumor aggressiveness and mutations in the MEK-ERK pathway in PTC. The inverse correlation between OS and TDS suggests that ROS may repress genes involved in thyroid differentiation.
