Primary Burkitt's Lymphoma Presenting as a Rapidly Growing Thyroid Mass.
Article in Case reports in oncology, 2012. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 8 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
A 31-year-old male patient presented with a rapidly growing neck mass with normal thyroid function tests. Ultrasonography showed thyroidal expansion, a hypoechoic nodule that completely filled the right lobe, and 2 hypoechoic lymphadenopathies in the right jugulodigastric chain. The patient underwent right total and left subtotal thyroidectomy, following the diagnosis of nodular goiter; however, postoperative histopathological evaluation demonstrated primary Burkitt's lymphoma of the thyroid gland. The tumor was staged as stage 1, and R-hyper-CVAD protocol (rituximab, hyperfractionated cyclophosphamide, vincristine, doxorubicin and dexamethasone) was administered. The protocol was changed to R-CHOP after 4 cycles due to recurrent grade III/IV cytopenias and febrile neutropenia. The PET-CT scans performed after chemotherapy and at the 6-month follow-up were normal. In summary, we reported a case with a diagnosis of Burkitt's lymphoma, which is a rare type of primary thyroid lymphoma.
