Liposarcoma of the Thyroid: A Case Report with a Review of the Literature.
Article in European thyroid journal, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 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
backgroundLiposarcomas of the thyroid gland are extremely rare tumors, and, to our knowledge, only 12 cases have been reported in the English literature. An accurate diagnosis is challenging due to the nonspecific clinical presentation of this cancer, frequently defined just by a swelling of the neck. PATIENT
findingsWe present an 82-year-old woman with liposarcoma of the thyroid, complaining of a fast-growing neck mass. MRI and neck ultrasound showed a large lipomatous mass, which corresponded to a
resultsWe searched the literature for previous case reports and identified only 12 cases worldwide to form our database. A demographic as well as clinical and histopathological analysis was made. In most cases, the liposarcoma occurred in patients >60 years of age. All histological subtypes, such as well-differentiated and myxoid liposarcomas, and pleomorphic and dedifferentiated liposarcomas, were found in the literature. In only 38.46% of the cases, an infiltration of the adjacent organs was observed. Surgery was the most common treatment chosen.
conclusionsOur review provides clinical and histopathological features of a primary liposarcoma of the thyroid to enable the identifi-cation of this rare tumor entity and assist in the decision-making process regarding therapeutic options and tumor follow-up.
