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

Anaplastic thyroid carcinoma (ATC) is a highly aggressive form of thyroid cancer with poor prognosis. Differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC) including papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is more common and known to have a favorable outcome after treatment. Here, we report a case of a 59-year-old lady with a long-standing goiter presenting with a discharging anterior neck mass. Fine-needle aspiration cytology (FTAC) of the mass resulted with malignant cells. She underwent surgery, and histopathological examination revealed both ATC and PTC features. Mutation analysis was also performed, and results were positive for BRAF 600VE mutation. She received radiotherapy and also chemotherapy post-surgery. Treatment was well tolerated. The relatively favorable survival of this patient may suggest that synchronous ATC and DTC may have better prognosis than ATC alone. The objective of this article is to report the unique clinical presentation and favorable prognosis with combined treatment modalities.
