Early cytological diagnosis of extranodal stage I, primary thyroid Non-Hodgkin lymphoma in elderly patients. Report of two cases and review of the literature.
Review in BMC surgery, 2013. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
backgroundPrimary thyroid lymphomas (PTLs) account for 5% of thyroid malignant tumors and often develop in patients with Hashimoto Thyroiditis (HT). Fine-needle cytology (FNC) is widely used in the diagnosis of thyroid nodules, including those arising in HT. Two PTL cases in HT elderly patients are here described and discussed.
methodsFNC was performed in rapidly enlarged thyroid nodules of 2 elderly patients under ultrasound (US) control. FNC was used to prepare conventional cytologic smears, immunocytochemistry (ICC) and flow cytometry (FC) assessment of cell populations.
resultsThe above cases were diagnosed as well differentiated, small B-cell and diffuse large B-cell thyroid lymphomas, respectively, by means of FNC. The histological diagnoses were mucosa-associated non Hodgkin lymphoma (MALT) and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), confirming FNC diagnoses, and patients were treated accordingly.
conclusionsFNC diagnosis of PTL is reliable and accurate; it may be conveniently used in the clinical practice since it provides indications for appropriate therapeutic procedures or diagnostic surgery, and avoids to treat benign nodules.
