Investigating the Involvement of Mediastinal Lymph Nodes in Patients with Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma.
Article in Advanced biomedical research, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
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: Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is also the most common endocrine malignancy. In the present study, we aimed to evaluate the metastasis pattern of upper mediastinal lymph node involvement in patients with PTC. Materials and Methods: This is a descriptive cross-sectional study that was performed in 2020 in Isfahan, Iran, on 73 patients with PTC who were candidates for total thyroidectomy. Demographic data including age and gender were collected. The frequency distribution of upper mediastinal lymph node involvements and their relationships with mass size, gender, and age, location of tumor in the thyroid gland and involvement of lateral lymph nodes in the neck were evaluated. Results: The mean mass size was 17.27 mm. The most involved thyroid lobe in patients with upper mediastinal lymph node involvement was the right lobe (16.5%). In terms of mediastinal lymph node involvement, there were no significant relationships between the two sexes ( Conclusion: Upper mediastinal lymph node metastasis in PTC was significantly more frequent in cases with younger ages (lower than 40 years) and involvements of lateral lymph nodes in the neck.
