Primary thyroid lymphoma: A case report and review of the literature.
Article in Annals of medicine and surgery (2012), 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 18 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
introductionA rapidly enlarging mass of the anterior compartment of the neck with compressive symptoms may represent, among other diagnosis, a neoplasm of the thyroid gland. PRESENTATION OF CASE: We describe the case of a 59-year-old woman referred to the endocrine surgical unit because of compressive cervical symptoms for 3 months. The cervical ultrasound revealed a sub-sternal goiter with heterogeneous echo structure and the fine-needle aspirating cytology was inconclusive. Given the large impact of symptoms on life quality, she was submitted to a total thyroidectomy. Histological examination of the surgical specimen revealed the presence of a Diffuse Large B Cell Lymphoma of the thyroid. DISCUSSION: Primary thyroid lymphomas are rare and there are few randomized studies for diagnostic and therapeutic guidance. New immunohistochemical and molecular techniques have improved the diagnostic accuracy with corebiopsy limiting the role of surgery. The treatment should first include the control of local disease with radiotherapy and/or surgery combined with chemotherapy to control obscure or disseminated disease. Palliative surgery may be needed to relieve airway compression symptoms. Under these circumstances, surgery should be performed by a specialized surgeon to decrease the associated morbidity. The prognosis of patients depends on the histological classification of the tumor and the stage of the disease.
conclusionDue to the rarity of the disease, each case must be evaluated and treated individually, since there is not a consensual therapeutic approach.
