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

backgroundThe indication and extent of selective lateral neck dissection (LND) for cN1a papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) remain uncertain. The present study aimed to identify potential predictors and distribution pattern of lateral lymph node recurrence (LLNR) after central neck dissection in cN1a PTC patients.

methodsThe cN1a PTC patients who underwent initial central neck dissection at our centre were retrospectively reviewed, and the median follow-up period was 6.8 years. Reoperation with LND was performed when LLNR was confirmed. Risk factors for LLNR were identified, and the metastatic status of each lateral level was recorded.

resultsOf the 310 patients enrolled in the present study, fifty-eight patients (18.7%) presented with LLNR. Six independent factors, including tumour diameter, pathological T4 stage, number of involved central lymph nodes, pTNM stage, extrathyroidal extension, and I

conclusionsFor cN1a PTC patients who underwent central neck dissection, tumour diameter ≥ 2 cm, pathological T4 stage, number of involved central lymph nodes ≥ 3, pTNM stage III-IV, extrathyroidal extension, and failure to receive I
