Follicular variant of papillary thyroid cancer in Alström syndrome.
Article in Familial cancer, 2015. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 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
Alström syndrome (AS) is an autosomal recessive disorder, characterized by cone-rod dystrophy, sensorineural hearing loss, obesity, hyperinsulinemia with insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes mellitus and progressive pulmonary, hepatic and renal dysfunction. AS is caused by mutations in the ALMS1 gene, located on the short arm of chromosome 2. We report a 35-year-old woman with known history of AS, who developed a follicular variant of papillary thyroid carcinoma. To our knowledge this is the first association of AS with thyroid malignancy, among the approximately 450 cases reported since the first description of the syndrome. We conclude that papillary thyroid carcinoma should be considered in the differential diagnosis of thyroid nodules in patients with AS.
