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

Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) represents ~80% of all thyroid cancers, most frequently presenting in women in the third and fourth decade of life. The first clinical manifestation of PTC commonly includes a palpable mass in the thyroid area or cervical lymphadenopathy in cases of metastatic disease. Hematogenous distant metastases are a sign of an advanced stage of the tumour. The present study reported an extremely rare occurrence of solitary metastasis of a PTC in the left breast of a 63-year-old male patient, mimicking primary male breast cancer (MBC). The presence of a male breast lesion that did not follow the typical imaging criteria for MBC aroused suspicion of a different primary origin. The combination of imaging methods, laboratory findings and fine-needle aspiration techniques enabling cytological and histopathological examination, with the use of a wide panel of immunohistochemical markers, is crucial to establishing a definitive and correct diagnosis.
