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

Introduction: Thyroid carcinoma is the most common endocrine cancer which may manifest with unusual presentations. We addressed distant metastases as the first presentations of thyroid carcinoma in several patients, though previously considered to occur rarely. Methods: In this case series, 10 patients are introduced with signs and symptoms of distant metastasis. Detailed history, physical examination, laboratory data, and histopathologic final report of thyroid cancer are presented. Conclusion: Although it seems unusual to discover a distant metastasis without abnormal thyroid examination, several reports of similar findings urge the need to improve screening process. It is prudent to bear in mind these presentations for early detection of thyroid carcinoma.
