MRI features of histological subtypes of thyroid cancer in comparison with CT findings: differentiation between anaplastic, poorly differentiated, and papillary thyroid carcinoma.
Article in Japanese journal of radiology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 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
purposeThis study aimed to evaluate the MRI features of the main histological subtypes of thyroid cancer and enable differentiation between anaplastic thyroid carcinoma (ATC), poorly differentiated thyroid carcinoma (PDTC), and papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). MATERIALS AND
methodsThis study included 79 patients with histopathologically proven thyroid cancer (14 ATCs, 8 PDTCs, and 57 PTCs) who underwent neck MRI. MRI images were retrospectively reviewed and compared between the three pathologies.
resultsThe maximum diameter was larger in ATCs and PDTCs than in PTCs (65.2 mm and 38.4 mm vs. 26.0 mm, p < 0.01). The signal intensity ratio of the solid components on T2-weighted images (T2WIs) was higher in ATCs than in PTCs (1.13 vs. 0.89, p < 0.05). The predominant signal intensity of the solid components on T2WI exhibited hyperintensity relative to the spinal cord in ATCs more frequently than in PTCs (71% vs. 30%, p < 0.01), whereas hypointensity was more frequent in PTCs than in ATCs and PDTCs (60% vs. 0% and 13%, p < 0.01). Intratumoral ring-shaped hypointensity on T2WI was more frequent in ATCs than in PDTCs and PTCs (64% vs. 13% and 18%, p < 0.01). An ill-defined margin was more frequent in ATCs and PDTCs than in PTCs (93% and 63% vs. 25%, p < 0.01). Extrathyroidal extension, tracheal invasion, esophageal invasion, vascular invasion, and venous thrombosis were more frequently observed in ATCs than in PTCs (p < 0.05).
conclusionsMRI could characterize the differences between ATCs, PDTCs, and PTCs.
