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
Isolated skull metastasis from a well differentiated follicular thyroid carcinoma, as the presenting feature is a rare manifestation. We report a case of a 79-year-old female who presented to us with only a painful, gradually increasing scalp swelling with associated pain and blurring of vision over the past few days. Neuroimaging findings strongly favoured a diagnosis of meningioma. A bifrontal craniotomy was performed and the tumour was excised. Histopathological examination of the same showed, it to be a case of metastatic thyroid carcinoma. We present this case not only because of the diagnostic challenge it posed, but also because the patient in our case is one of the oldest case of skull metastasis from follicular thyroid carcinoma till date.
