Molecular Determinants of Thyroid Cancer Progression: Thyroid Hormone Signaling, the BRAF/MAPK Pathway, and Emerging miRNA Biomarkers.
Review in Biomedicines, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled 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.
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 cancer is the most common malignancy of the endocrine system and represents a biologically heterogeneous disease driven by the interplay between endocrine regulation, oncogenic signaling pathways, and tumor microenvironment dynamics. Although most follicular cell-derived thyroid cancers follow an indolent clinical course, a subset progresses toward aggressive, therapy-refractory phenotypes, underscoring the need for refined molecular understanding and improved biomarkers. This review comprehensively examines the molecular determinants of thyroid cancer progression, with particular emphasis on Thyroid Hormone (TH) signaling, the Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase (MAPK) and Phosphoinositide 3-Kinase (PI3K)/AKT pathways, and the emerging role of microRNAs (miRNAs). We discuss how oncogenic alterations, most notably the
