Malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor of the thyroid: a clinicopathological and ultrastructural study of one case.
Article in Endocrine pathology, 2004. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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 malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumors (TMPNST) are very uncommon neoplasms that can be confused with anaplastic carcinoma, Riedel's thyroiditis, or other soft tissue tumors that may occur in the thyroid region. An example of TMPNST is presented in this report. The tumor occurred in a 56-yr-old woman. Fine needle aspiration did not provide adequate material. After thyroidectomy, the lesion posed important problems in differential diagnosis. Immunohistochemical, molecular, and electron microscopic features were taken into consideration to arrive at the correct diagnosis. Tumor cells were focally positive for keratins, a feature that has not been described in peripheral nerve sheath tumors of the thyroid, but that has been occasionally seen in tumors from other locations. After thyroidectomy, the patient received radiotherapy. She is well without evidence of recurrence 10 mo after surgery.
