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: Lymph node metastasis (LNM) is a key prognostic determinant in thyroid carcinoma (THCA), yet molecular markers capturing intrinsic metastatic potential are limited. Methods: Generalized additive models were applied to TCGA-THCA data to screen for genes with diametrically opposite expression-tumor diameter relationships between N0 and N1 patients. CENPM was subsequently validated in independent transcriptomic cohorts, spatial transcriptomics, and immunohistochemistry. Single-cell transcriptomics, Results: CENPM expression increased with tumor diameter in N0 but decreased in N1, and high CENPM was associated with poorer disease-free survival. CENPM was predominantly enriched in CD8 Conclusion: CENPM shows diametrically opposite expression-diameter relationships between N0 and N1 patients, suggesting a shift in biological behavior upon nodal involvement, with potential therapeutic relevance.
