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 most common sites for metastases of colorectal cancer include the liver, lungs, brain, and regional lymph nodes. However, a limited number of reported cases describe colon cancer metastasis to the thyroid gland. Metastatic colorectal adenocarcinoma to the thyroid gland is rare. The majority of these cases with colon cancer metastases to the thyroid gland are diagnosed years after initial treatment of colon cancer. The discovery is usually made after routine surveillance imaging, and often patients have minimal or absent symptoms. We report a case of a recurrence of metastatic colorectal adenocarcinoma to the thyroid gland presenting with vocal cord paralysis and inspiratory stridor.
