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

The aim of this study is to analyze and identify the main predictors that may indicate multifocal growth of PTC. Materials and methods: The main and control groups included patients with the category of malignant multifocal process T1-3mN0Mx (n=109) and unifocal T1-T3N0Mx (n=50) respectively, who underwent thyroidectomy with lymphadenectomy.Ultrasound characteristics of the nodes, tissue changes of the thyroid gland were taken into account. Results: Fibrous changes can be considered as one of the risk factors of the presence of additional PTC lesion. Discussion: There is no unambiguity in the definition of predictors of multifocal PTC growth. Conclusions: No clear predictors of multifocal PTC have been identified. It is advisable to improve the quality of ultrasound, to focus on single-focus PTC in patients with fibrinous changes in the thyroid gland at normal levels of TSH.
