Lymph Node Posterior to the Right Recurrent Laryngeal Nerve Metastasis in Right Lobe T1a Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma: A Retrospective Cohort Study.
Article in Cancer control : journal of the Moffitt Cancer Center. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 papers.
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
INTRODUCTION AND
objectivesThis study analyzed the incidence and predictors of lymph node posterior to the right recurrent laryngeal nerve metastasis in T1a papillary thyroid carcinoma of the right lobe.
methodsThis was a retrospective cohort study. Patients were selected from those who had received surgical treatment for primary papillary thyroid carcinoma between January 2019 and December 2020. The association between clinicopathologic variables and lymph node posterior to the right recurrent laryngeal nerve metastasis was assessed using univariate and multivariate analyses. Postoperative complications were also described.
resultsLymph node posterior to the right recurrent laryngeal nerve metastasis was present in 6.0% of the 402 study patients. It was the most likely to occur when there were other lymph node metastases, particularly in the lymph node anterior to the recurrent laryngeal nerve. Independent predictors for lymph node posterior to the right recurrent laryngeal nerve metastasis were a tumor size of ≥5.0 mm, a lower pole location, and lymph node anterior to the right recurrent laryngeal nerve metastasis. The rate of persistent vocal cord paralysis was .5%, and no patient developed permanent hypoparathyroidism.
conclusionsAlthough lymph node posterior to the right recurrent laryngeal nerve metastases of the right lobe T1a papillary thyroid carcinoma is uncommon, the possibility of metastasis should be investigated when there is a positive lymph node anterior to the right recurrent laryngeal nerve in a tumor >5.0 mm in size located in the lower pole. Lymph node posterior to the right recurrent laryngeal nerve dissection is recommended for such tumors.
