Occult thyroid carcinoma.
Review in Acta otorhinolaryngologica Italica : organo ufficiale della Societa italiana di otorinolaringologia e chirurgia cervico-facciale, 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 23 papers.
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
Some medical definitions remain the same for many years, others change due to the progress in the diagnostic tools, which are able to distinguish markers and symptoms until then undetectable. Occult thyroid carcinoma is a general term indicating clinically different situations, whereas the incidentally detected papillary thyroid microcarcinoma is the most important from the clinical point of view. It is fundamental, for therapeutic management, to determine biological parameters which would define a small group of papillary thyroid microcarcinomas with aggressive biological behaviour. The most promising genetic and molecular markers for papillary thyroid carcinoma risk stratification are discussed in this review. Preoperative evaluation of these markers, obtained through analysis of ultrasonography-guided fine needle biopsy specimens of papillary thyroid microcarcinoma, could be very valuable in guiding treatment of this type of cancer.
