1 · What the graph read from 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.

2 · The registry

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

Dyshormonogenetic goiter is a rare cause of congenital hypothyroidism occurring due to a lack of enzymes necessary for the synthesis of thyroid hormones. It is morphologically characterized by architectural and cellular pleomorphism that may mimic thyroid malignancy and cause difficulties in differential diagnosis. We report a new case occurring in a 37-year-old male with history of hypothyroidism since the age of 
6 years treated by L-thyroxin. He developed a progressively slow growing multinodular goiter and consulted for recent dyspnea. Computed tomography scan showed a multinodular plunging goiter with compression of the trachea and vessels in the left side. A total thyroidectomy was performed. Gross examination revealed an enlarged and multinodular thyroid gland, presenting hemorrhagic changes in the larger nodules. Histologically, the features were consistent with dyshormonogenetic goiter. The literature on the histopathology of dyshormonogenetic goiter is reviewed and clues to avoid inappropriate overdiagnosis of malignancy are given.
