Surgical resection of recurrent differentiated thyroid cancer: patterns, detection, staging, and treatment of 683 patients.
Observational study in Frontiers in endocrinology, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
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
Background: Despite improvements in overall survival, the recurrence of differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) is becoming more common and remains a challenge necessitating accurate reappraisal of the patient. This study aimed to describe the characteristics, reasons, morbidity, and strategies of second operations for DTC. Methods: This was a retrospective observational study of patients with DTC who underwent a second surgery between June 2008 and June 2021 in the Department of Thyroid Surgery at China-Japanese Union Hospital, Jilin University, P.R. China. All clinical characteristics were recorded, and the analysis was estimated using SPSS. Results: Second surgeries were detected in 683 patients. The proportion of second operations changed with the update of international guidelines from 2015 ( Conclusion: After 2015, second surgeries were more standardized, the incidence of complications decreased, and real recurrence became the most common reason for a second DTC surgery.
