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

Progress in the field of pediatric thyroid pathology has linked DICER1 mutations to benign follicular cell-derived thyroid tumors (e.g., follicular adenoma with papillary architecture, follicular nodular disease), low-risk follicular cell-derived differentiated thyroid carcinomas and PDTCs enriched in fatal or recurrent/progressive disease. The dismal outcome of DICER1-harboring pediatric PDTCs stems from a limited number of reported patients' data given the rarity of pediatric PDTCs. In light of the former observations, the current study assessed clinicopathological variables of a series of 5 pediatric (≤ 18 years old) PDTCs using the Turin criteria (WHO 2022) and also examined the status of DICER1 and TERT promoter mutations. Five PDTCs (3 males, 2 females) were included in the study. The mean age at the time of diagnosis was 15.4 years. No patients had a history of DICER1 syndrome-related tumors or other clinicopathological diagnostic features of DICER1 syndrome. The mean tumor size was 3.9 cm. All tumors were completely submitted for microscopic examination. There was increased mitotic activity ranging from 3 to 10 mitoses per 2 mm
