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

Thyroid carcinosarcoma (TCS) is a rare and aggressive malignant tumor, typically reported as a primary thyroid neoplasm. Here, we present an unusual case of TCS occurring in the chest wall. The patient was a 66-year-old woman with a history of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) diagnosed 12 years prior. She received two courses of radioactive iodine (RAI) therapy (200 mCi and 150 mCi) five years ago for metastatic disease in cervical lymph nodes and lungs. Four years after completing RAI treatment, she presented with a progressively enlarging left chest wall mass, which was surgically resected and pathologically confirmed as TCS. This report details the patient's clinical course and explores the temporal and topographic association between the development of TCS and the prior RAI therapy.
