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

Study design: A retrospective cohort study. Objectives: This study aims to report the surgical outcome of metastatic spinal differentiated thyroid cancer (MSDTC) and analyze the factors affecting the prognosis. Methods: Thirty-five patients were recruited in our single institution who underwent spinal surgery and adjuvant therapies from 2009 to 2019. Two surgical procedures, total Results: The cohort had a median survival time of 60 months. The mean visual analog scale scores and the Karnofsky performance score improved postoperatively ( Conclusion: Pain, quality of life, and neurological status of patients can be effectively improved after surgery. Radiotherapy can reduce the risk of local recurrences, whereas RAI therapy has a limited effect on local and extraspinal tumor control. Neurological status was independently associated with the patients' survival.
