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

For patients with differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC), that is, papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) and follicular thyroid cancer (FTC), the American Thyroid Association and European Thyroid Association generally recommend radioactive iodine (RAI) therapy after surgery only for high-risk patients. For intermediate-risk patients, RAI therapy is recommended only as a should-be-considered option. For low-risk patients, RAI therapy is not routinely recommended. Other countries, such as Germany, are more in favor of using RAI. Thus, RAI therapy remains a matter of controversial debate, because prospective long-term data on survival are scarce.
