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 cancer (PTC) is the most frequent malignant thyroid tumor in Germany. The diagnosis can only be confirmed by histological examination of the suspicious tissue. The clinical signs, sonographic findings, and the results of fine-needle aspiration, possibly supplemented by subsequent molecular genetic analysis, can confirm the suspected diagnosis before surgery. The prognosis is very good if the diagnosis is made early and, depending on the size of the tumor, complete surgical removal is achieved, with a 10-year survival rate of more than 90%; however, histologically PTC has several variants that are associated with either a high or low risk of metastases and recurrence in patients. Therefore, the extent of necessary treatment, in particular surgical interventions for PTC has been discussed for years. This article provides an overview of the current knowledge on the diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of PTC.
