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 is the most common thyroid malignancy, with a higher incidence in women. Vitamin D deficiency has been proposed as a potential risk factor for various cancers, including thyroid cancer. This study investigates the association between vitamin D deficiency and papillary thyroid carcinoma. A retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted on 209 patients diagnosed with papillary thyroid carcinoma from January 2016 to December 2020. Clinical data, including vitamin D levels, were collected and analyzed using SPSS software. ANOVA was employed to determine the significance of the relationship between vitamin D status, lymph node positivity, and thyroid nodule size. Vitamin D deficiency was prevalent in 58.4% of patients, with 25.4% being insufficient and 16.3% normal. No significant relationship was found between vitamin D levels and the number of positive lymph nodes (
