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

Objectives: Papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) is the most frequent subtype of thyroid cancer with overall favorable survival. Currently, little is known about the PTC experience within the United States (U.S.) Armenians. We performed the first study comparing clinicopathologic variables and clinical outcomes of U.S. Armenian PTC patients to a matched control group of non-Armenians. Methods: We performed a single-center, retrospective, case-control study of adult Armenian PTC patients who received care at COH from 2005 to 2022. Armenian ethnicity was determined by surnames ending in "-ian" and "-yan". We report and compare clinicopathologic presentation and disease outcomes with a gender- and age-matched control non-Armenian population. Results: Fifty-eight Armenian patients comprised our study cohort. Positive margin status ( Conclusion: Armenian PTC patients displayed more aggressive disease than non-Armenians. In addition, Armenian PTC patients had higher incidence of disease relapse and worse clinical outcomes. Level of Evidence: 5.
