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

purposeAlthough most patients with differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC) have an excellent prognosis, a subset will experience radioactive iodine refractory (RAI-R) disease, associated with recurrence, distant metastases and worse prognosis. In recent years, redifferentiation has emerged as an attractive approach for patients with RAI-R DTC, a strategy to induce iodine uptake in RAI-R DTC tumor cells and ultimately prolong time to initiation of systemic therapy.

methodsAn overview and critical appraisal of the existing literature on redifferentiation will be presented in this review under the lens of the genotype-specific targeted therapy administered with redifferentiation intent. RESULTS/

conclusionsDue to the significant heterogeneity across studies, it will be key to harmonize research methodology and support future larger, multicenter prospective trials in order to identify the most suitable candidates for this therapeutic strategy.
