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

Background: The presence of lymph node metastasis (LNM) is frequently observed in papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC), and most clinical guidelines recommend total thyroidectomy. However, the impact of LNM on specific types of locoregional recurrence remains uncertain, particularly for stage T1 PTC. Methods: The present retrospective cohort study enrolled patients diagnosed with stage T1 PTC between 2008 and 2015. Propensity score matching was performed in patients with lobectomy accompanied by varying degrees of LNM. Logistic regression analysis was performed to compare the effect of LNM on relapse types, and Kaplan-Meier method was utilized to calculate recurrence-free survival. Results: The study cohort comprised 2,785 patients who were followed up for an average duration of 69 months. After controlling follow-up time and potential prognostic factors, we include a total of 362 patients in each group. Recurrence rates in the N0, N1a, and N1b groups were found to be 2.5%, 9.7%, and 10.2% respectively. Notably, group N1a versus group N0 ( Conclusion: Lobectomy may be more appropriate for patients with unilateral stage T1 PTC in the low LNPR group.
