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

The 5th edition of the WHO Classification of Tumors of Endocrine Organs introduced the term Differentiated High-Grade Thyroid Carcinoma (DHGTC) to identify cases of differentiated follicular cell-derived thyroid carcinomas (DFCDTC) with a worse prognosis. This study aimed to determine the frequency and clinicopathological features of DHGTC within a cohort of advanced follicular cell-derived thyroid carcinomas (AdvTC) and compare them to non-high-grade DFCDTC (non-HGDTC) and poorly differentiated thyroid carcinoma (PDTC). A retrospective analysis was conducted on 138 patients with AdvTC who underwent total thyroidectomy followed by radioactive iodine therapy (131I). DHGTC was identified in 15.9% of the cases (22/138), showing a higher prevalence in this selected cohort of AdvTC compared to other studies. Compared to non-HGDTC, DHGTC was significantly associated with adverse clinicopathological features, including age ranges ≤ 18 and ≥ 55 years, presence of distant and synchronous metastasis, larger tumor size (> 2 cm), tall-cell subtype of papillary thyroid carcinoma, higher mitotic index (≥ 5/2 mm
