Occult thyroid carcinoma: a rare case report and review of literature.
Review in International journal of clinical and experimental pathology, 2014. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 13 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
Occult thyroid carcinoma is very common in the clinic and is generally divided into four groups. Here, we proposed two types of occult thyroid carcinoma as the fifth group. The first type was locoregional lymph node metastases from thyroid carcinoma, and the second type was distant organ metastases from thyroid carcinoma. The unique aspect of the fifth group was that the primary carcinoma of the fifth group was not finally found by pathological examination. To better understand the fifth group, we reported a typical case. Furthermore, we discussed the diagnostic criteria and procedures and the management of the fifth group of occult thyroid carcinoma.
