A rare case of a concurrent large thyroglossal duct cyst with a base of tongue haemangioma.
Article in BMJ case reports, 2011. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 9 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
An 85-year-old lady presented with a large midline neck mass. After 8 years of steady growth, the previously asymptomatic mass began to cause stridor and dysphagia. The patient's comorbidities included a previous partial glossectomy for haemangioma of the tongue, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, congestive cardiac failure and obesity (body mass index >30). CT neck revealed the midline mass was cystic in nature, most likely a thyroglossal duct cyst. This mass was closely related to an angiomatous malformation involving the tongue, floor of mouth and left parotid. Fine needle aspiration cytology was consistent with a colloid goitre characterised as Thy-1. Due to her extensive comorbidities, surgical resection of the midline mass was deemed to be a high-risk procedure. A Sistrunk's procedure was performed. Dissection proved difficult due to the intimately related base of tongue haemangioma. Histopathology confirmed it to be a benign thyroglossal duct cyst. She made an uncomplicated postoperative recovery.
