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

There has been significant progress in understanding the molecular landscape of pediatric differentiated thyroid carcinoma (DTC) over the past 2 decades. Classification of pediatric DFC into 3 tiers, RAS-like mutant, BRAF mutant, and kinase fusions, accurately reflects an increasing risk for invasive behavior, including regional and distant metastasis. In clinical practice, somatic oncogene testing for nodules with indeterminate cytology per the Bethesda System for Reporting Thyroid Cytopathology provides objective data to optimize surgical planning. In addition, knowledge of the somatic oncogene for widely invasive carcinomas allows for incorporation of oncogene-specific inhibitory therapy both in the adjuvant and neoadjuvant setting. In the present review, we review the risk factors, clinical presentation, and evaluation of pediatric DTC, highlighting the correlation among ultrasound features, cytology, and oncogenic driver of the tumor. We subsequently propose an integrated, multimodal approach that can be used to improve diagnostic accuracy and reliability for preoperative planning as well as identify and discuss which pediatric patients may benefit from systemic oral targeted therapy.
