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

Objective: To characterize the distinct clinicopathological patterns and identify independent risk factors in synchronous breast-thyroid dual primary malignancies (DBTMs), a rare yet clinically significant entity. Methods: In this retrospective case-control study (2019.03-2021.12), 58 DBTM patients were compared with 89 age-matched solitary breast cancer controls. Comprehensive clinicopathological parameters including hormone receptor status and molecular profiles were analyzed. Multivariable logistic regression identified prognostic determinants with 2-year follow-up for recurrence/metastasis and survival outcomes. Results: Statistically significant differences were observed in age, BMI, menopausal status, ER, PR, and HER-2 status between the study and control groups (P < 0.05). During the 2-year follow-up, the study group had 12 cases of recurrence or metastasis and 5 deaths, while the control group had 9 cases of recurrence or metastasis and 2 deaths (P < 0.05). Univariate analysis indicated that age, breast cancer stage, and ER status were associated with overall survival in patients with synchronous primary breast and thyroid cancer. Additionally, age, breast cancer stage, ER status, menopausal status, and a family history of breast cancer were significantly associated with recurrence or metastasis (P < 0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis identified age, ER positivity, and a family history of breast cancer as independent risk factors for synchronous primary breast and thyroid cancer (P < 0.05). Conclusion: This first matched case-control analysis reveals that synchronous DBTMs represent a unique clinical subgroup with aggressive biological behavior. The identified triad of young age, ER positivity, and familial predisposition provides a risk stratification framework for dual-cancer screening and targeted surveillance strategies.
