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
The standard for detecting chimeric genes of neurotrophic receptor tyrosine kinases (NTRK) is next generation sequencing (NGS). However, this analysis is expensive and takes several days. As a rapid screening method for the detection of NTRK3-dependent papillary thyroid cancer, an analysis of the expression imbalance between 5' and 3' NTRK3 mRNA fragments was used (5'/3' RT-PCR). The reference method for detection of NTRK3 rearrangements was fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH), and the most frequent rearrangements in papillary thyroid cancer were tested using reverse transcription PCR (RT-PCR). Using 5'/3' RT-PCR, 18 samples of papillary thyroid cancer carrying chimeric transcripts of NTRK3 mRNA were detected. The sensitivity of the developed technique was 88.9% and specificity was 99.3%. Thus, a fast and cost-effective method of screening samples of papillary thyroid cancer in paraffin blocks is proposed with acceptable sensitivity and specificity.
