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

Poorly differentiated thyroid carcinoma (PDTC) is a subtype of thyroid cancer that has a high rate of metastasis or recurrence and a relatively poor prognosis. However, there are few studies that have been conducted on PDTC at the whole protein-coding gene scale. Here, we performed genomic profiling of 15 patients with PDTC originated from follicular thyroid carcinoma using whole exome sequencing and also performed gene functional enrichment analysis of differentially expressed genes (DEGs) for three patients. Further, we investigated genetic variants associated with PDTC progression and the characteristics of clinical pathology. We revealed somatic genomic alterations in the RAF1, MAP2K2, and AKT2 genes that were not reported in previous studies. We confirmed frequent occurrences in the RAS gene in patients with PDTC; the genetic alterations were associated with the RAS-RAF-MEK-ERK/JNK, PI3K-AKT-mTOR signaling pathways, and the cell cycle. DEG analysis showed that immune response was lower in cancer tissues than in normal tissues. Through the association analysis of somatic mutations and the characteristics of clinical pathology from patients with PDTC, the somatic mutations of ABCA12, CLIP1, and ATP13A3 were significantly associated with a vascular invasion phenotype. By providing molecular genetic insight on PDTC, this study may contribute to the discovery of novel therapeutic target candidates.
